  Burning crypto refers to the permanent removal of a certain amount of cryptocurrency from circulation. This process is usually done by sending the coins to an address that is unspendable or by sending them to a smart contract that has been programmed to reject any transaction. The purpose of burning crypto can vary depending on the project, but it is often done to reduce the total supply of the cryptocurrency, increase scarcity, or to remove coins that are no longer needed.

  Burning crypto is like saying goodbye to your coins forever. It's a way to reduce the supply and make the remaining coins more valuable. Think of it as throwing your coins into a black hole, never to be seen again. Some projects use burning as a way to reward their token holders by reducing the total supply and increasing the value of the remaining tokens.

  At BYDFi, we have a specific process for burning crypto. When we decide to burn tokens, we send them to a burn address that is publicly visible on the blockchain. This ensures transparency and allows anyone to verify that the tokens have been permanently removed from circulation. Burning crypto is one of the ways we manage the token supply and maintain the value of our token.
