Token Burn Calculator

Permanently removing tokens from circulation, usually by sending them to an address nobody holds the keys to or by calling a burn function that destroys them. The supply figure falls and cannot be reversed.

Not mechanically. A burn reduces supply, so if total market value stayed the same the price per token would rise — that is the calculation above. But market cap is not fixed; it is whatever buyers are willing to pay. A burn with no demand behind it simply leaves fewer tokens at a similar price.

A plain burn destroys tokens the project already holds, which changes the supply number but puts no money into the market. A buyback-and-burn spends revenue to purchase tokens on the open market first, so it creates real buy pressure as well as reducing supply. The second is far more meaningful.

Because issuance runs alongside it. Staking rewards, block rewards and vesting unlocks all add tokens. If they add more than the burn removes, net supply grows regardless of how large the burn number sounds — which is what the emissions field above exposes.

As a percentage of circulating supply per year, not as a token count. Burning a billion tokens sounds enormous and means nothing if supply is a hundred trillion. Anything under about 1% of supply a year is noise next to normal price volatility.

If sent to a verifiable burn address or destroyed by contract, yes — nobody can recover them. But check what was burned: tokens from a treasury or an unsold allocation were never circulating, so removing them changes the total supply figure without affecting the float that actually trades.
