Tokens are permanently removed from circulation by transferring them to a burn address, a wallet from which they cannot ever be retrieved.&nbsp; A project reduces the overall supply of tokens by burning them down causing a deflationary event. Tokens decrease in value when their supply declines and they become more rare, which makes them appreciate in value.
