Token Burn

A burn destroys tokens by sending them to an address no one controls (typically 0x...dEaD or the zero address). Supply drops, and if demand stays constant, price math works in favor of remaining holders. Burns can be one-off (team destroys its allocation), automatic (a % of every transfer), or programmatic (buyback-and-burn).

Burns only matter in proportion. Burning 1% of a hyperinflationary supply is theater. Burning 50% of a team allocation is meaningful — assuming the remaining 50% isn't still enough to dump the chart.
