Permanent removal of tokens from circulating supply by sending them to an address with no known private key. Some protocols burn tokens algorithmically (Ethereum’s EIP-1559 burns a portion of every transaction fee). Burns reduce supply, which — all else equal — supports price. Most coordinated “buyback and burn” programs are marketing-driven and have minimal supply impact.
