I'm wondering about the destination of burned crypto. When cryptocurrency is burned, where does it actually go? Is it completely destroyed or does it exist in some other form?

    Every crypto wallet possesses a private key, which serves as the unlock for the tokens stored within.

    In contrast, burn addresses are designed without a private key.

    Crypto tokens that are burned are directed to a special location known as a 'burn address'.

    This burn address functions as a wallet, capable of receiving coins but unable to send them out.
