Token burn
A process that removes token units from usable supply under a defined mechanism.
In more detail
A contract burn can destroy units and reduce its recorded total supply. Sending tokens to an inaccessible address may remove practical access without changing that same supply field. The distinction matters when reading token statistics; a burn event by itself does not explain how the market will price the remaining units.
How you might use it
The burn call destroys units and reduces totalSupply; sending them to another ordinary address would just change who holds them.
