# Token Burning

Token burning permanently removes tokens from circulation, reducing supply and potentially increasing scarcity.

#### Automatic burning

Set a percentage of each distribution to be automatically burned.

Example:

* If you set a **5%** burn rate, **5%** of collected taxes are burned before distribution to holders and developers.

Benefits:

* Consistent supply reduction
* No manual intervention needed
* Deflationary tokenomics

#### Manual burning

Use the burn dashboard to manually burn tokens from your wallet at any time.

Benefits:

* Full control over timing
* Burn any amount you want
* Great for marketing events

#### Burn analytics

Track total burns, burn percentage, and burn history on your token page.

All burns are permanently recorded on-chain and visible to your community.
