Burning

Burning an asset means to destroy an asset that a contract has minted.

The standard library contains a module that can be used to burn an asset.

There is one function used to burn:

• burn()

To use the function we must import it.

use std::asset::burn;

burn

To burn some amount of an asset we specify the amount that we would like to burn and pass it into the burn() function.

    let amount = 10;
    burn(ZERO_B256, amount);
