    Token burning is a common practice in the cryptocurrency industry to decrease the supply of a particular cryptocurrency. When tokens are burned, they are permanently removed from circulation, which reduces the total supply. This reduction in supply can potentially increase the value of the remaining tokens as the scarcity increases. It's like having a limited number of seats in a concert, and the more people want to attend, the higher the ticket prices go. Similarly, when the demand for a cryptocurrency remains constant or grows, but the supply decreases due to token burning, the value of the cryptocurrency can potentially increase. Token burning is often seen as a way to create value for token holders and maintain a healthy supply-demand balance in the market.
