How to burn tokens on BNB Chain
BNB Chain burns follow the same rule as every other chain: you send tokens to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD, an address nobody holds the keys to, and the receipt is public forever. Same console, same single signature — the fee is just paid in BNB.
Why burn on BNB Chain
BNB Chain carries an enormous retail audience and three-second blocks, so a burn lands while the chat is still talking about it. Cheap gas turns burning from a once-a-year announcement into a rhythm your holders can set their watch by: weekly buyback burns, fee revenue burned on schedule, milestone burns the day the milestone lands.
The reason it works is not the burn — it is the receipt. Every BNB Chain burn you run through Arc Incinerator produces a BscScan link and a supply number anyone can recompute for themselves. Promises get discounted; verifiable arithmetic does not.
One difference on BNB Chain: paste the contract
BNB Chain is the one supported network without a public, keyless explorer API, so Arc Incinerator cannot auto-list the tokens sitting in your wallet the way it does elsewhere. You paste the BEP-20 contract address instead, and the app reads name, symbol, decimals, your balance and total supply directly from the contract over RPC.
Nothing else changes. Pre-flight simulation, one-signature batching, reorg-safe confirmations, the burn receipt and the ready-to-post X draft all behave exactly as they do on Robinhood Chain.
Official token: $ABURN is live
Arc Incinerator burns on six EVM networks. The official token contract is 0x676bE0ca09e177Cb7fE64f3f616B03E8b4B3Aa5c on Arc, trading on Argus.
Treat any other contract claiming to be official as an impostor. Burning assets on BNB Chain remains supported.
Burning on BNB Chain, step by step
1. Switch the network to BNB Chain
Use the network switcher in the header. Arc Incinerator asks your wallet to move to BNB Smart Chain (chain id 56) and re-checks the network right before you sign.
2. Paste the token contract
Enter the BEP-20 address. The app verifies it is a real token contract and shows your balance before you commit to an amount. You can queue up to five items into one bundle.
3. Read the pre-flight checks
The dialog simulates the transfer on BNB Chain and reports balance, approval status, likely revert reasons, estimated gas in BNB, and the app fee — all before any signature.
4. Sign once
Batch-capable wallets bundle the transfer and the 0.0004 BNB fee into a single approval. Wallets without batching fall back to the stable two-step flow.
What a BNB Chain burn costs
| Item | Amount | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| Network gas | BNB Chain rate (BNB) | BNB Chain validators |
| App fee | 0.0004 BNB | Arc Incinerator |
| Cut of your tokens | 0% | Nobody — no custody |
Frequently asked questions
- How do I burn tokens on BNB Chain?
- Open Arc Incinerator, switch the network selector to BNB Chain, connect your wallet, paste the BEP-20 contract you want to burn, set an amount and sign once. The tokens move to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD and the flat app fee rides along in the same batched call.
- What does a BNB Chain burn cost?
- BNB Chain gas — typically a few cents — plus the flat 0.0004 BNB Arc Incinerator app fee. The fee is paid in BNB because BNB is the chain's native gas token. We never take a percentage of the tokens you burn and never hold them.
- Why do I have to paste the contract address on BNB Chain?
- BNB Chain has no public, keyless Blockscout API, so the app cannot list your wallet's BEP-20 balances the way it does on Robinhood Chain, Base, Ink and Ethereum. Everything else is identical: paste the contract and the name, symbol, decimals, your balance and total supply are read straight from the contract over RPC.
- Is the official Arc Incinerator token live on BNB Chain?
- No. The official token contract is 0x676bE0ca09e177Cb7fE64f3f616B03E8b4B3Aa5c on Arc. Any token claiming to be official on BNB Chain is an impostor.
- How do holders verify a BNB Chain burn?
- Every burn is a public Transfer event to the dead address. The confirmation screen hands you the BscScan transaction link and the recalculated circulating supply, ready to post, once the burn is buried under enough confirmations to be reorg-safe.
