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. Hood 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 Hood Incinerator ends with an explorer link and a supply figure anyone can recompute from chain data. That is the whole pitch: proof beats promises.
There is only one $0XdEaD — and it is on Robinhood Chain
The incinerator is multi-chain. The token is not. $0XdEaD exists on Robinhood Chain only, at contract address 0xBAE9346CB6c12df12114c9edfbAC00E3543A2Ef9.
No Ink deployment, no Base deployment, no bridge, no wrapper. Anything on Ink using the $0XdEaD name is a copycat — verify the contract address above before you trade. You can still burn anything you like on Ink; the token perks and the 5x points multiplier just stay on Robinhood Chain, where the one real $0XdEaD lives.
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.
