How to burn tokens on Ink
On Ink, a burn is the same honest move it is everywhere else: send tokens to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD and let the chain hold the receipt. Arc Incinerator does it in one signature, with no backend and no custody.
Why burn on Ink
Ink is young, fast and cheap, which makes it ideal for teams who want burning to be a habit rather than an event. When a burn costs pennies, you can tie it to something real — trading fees, treasury inflows, a milestone your community actually cares about — and repeat it often enough that people start expecting the receipt.
Every Ink burn run through Arc Incinerator ends with an explorer link and a supply figure anyone can recompute from chain data. That is the whole pitch: proof beats promises.
Official token: $ABURN is live
The incinerator is multi-chain. 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 Ink remains fully supported.
Burning on Ink, step by step
1. Switch the network to Ink
Pick Ink in the header switcher. Your wallet is asked to move to chain id 57073, and the app re-verifies the network immediately before signing.
2. Pick the token or NFT
Choose from your detected Ink balances or paste a contract address. Queue up to five items — tokens, NFTs or both — into a single bundle.
3. Read the pre-flight checks
A simulation on Ink reports balance, approval status, estimated failure reasons, gas in ETH and the app fee, all before your wallet opens.
4. Sign once
Batch-capable wallets combine the burn transfer and the 0.00004 ETH fee into one approval; other wallets use the proven single-item flow.
