Token Burn
The permanent removal of tokens from circulation by sending them to an unrecoverable address (a 'burn address'). Token burns reduce total supply, which can create deflationary pressure and increase scarcity. Ethereum's EIP-1559 burns a portion of gas fees with every transaction, and Binance conducts quarterly BNB burns based on trading volume.
