What is NFT Burning?

Burning an NFT permanently disables it from individual ownership. A burned NFT:

• Cannot be withdrawn, transferred, purchased, or sold.
• Remains recorded on the blockchain, as nothing can be permanently deleted from it.

The process of burning effectively renders the NFT inactive by sending it to an inaccessible "burn address."

Steps to Burn an NFT

Step 1: Access the Burning Tool

• Go to Immutable Tools.
• Select the following options:
  • Network: Mainnet
  • Action: Transfer
  • Token Type: ERC721

Step 2: Input Required Details

1. Provide the following information:

   • Token ID
   • Collection Address
     (These details can be found using Immutascan.io. Locate them by selecting the Transaction ID of the NFT.)
     
     

2. Set the Recipient Address to the burn address:

   • 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
     

Step 3: Finalize the Burn Process

• Once all details are filled in, click Call Method.
• If the details are correct, the NFT will be removed from your wallet and sent to the burn address.

Notes

• Ensure all details (Token ID, Collection Address, and Recipient Address) are accurate before confirming the burn.
• Once an NFT is burned, the action is irreversible.
