Token destruction, also known as token burning, is the permanent removal of a specified quantity of digital tokens from circulation. This process typically involves sending tokens to an unspendable address, making them inaccessible forever. The primary purpose is to reduce the total supply of a cryptocurrency, which can potentially increase the scarcity and value of the remaining tokens. It is a deflationary mechanism within a token’s economic model.
