Token burning

Definition: Token burning is the process of permanently reducing usable token supply according to a token contract or protocol mechanism.

Burning can send tokens to an irrecoverable state, call a burn function or otherwise modify supply accounting depending on the design.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

If a compatible dApp asks Terenval to sign a burn transaction, the effect is determined by the external token contract and can be irreversible.

Important: Verify exactly which asset and amount will be destroyed before approving a burn operation.
