Burn.fish is a simple tool to burn ethers the right way, using a self-destructed contract that sends ethers to itself.
There are many reasons to burn your coins (Proof of Burn), yet the most common way to burn coins is by sending to a 'dead' wallet(some have over billion dollars worth of tokens), which is not the right way...
Here's why:
- There is no way to verify the 'dead' wallet private key was actually destroyed
- A 'dead' wallet is like a super valuable and secure* safe in Times Square, where everyone is trying to break into
- Why worry about the small probability of a dead wallet becoming undead
By using a self-destructed contract (Burn.Fish), the ETH vanishes completely where the address of the contract no longer has any balance or code!!
To use the site you will need to install MetaMask.
Connect to your MetaMask, and then burn some ether.
Alternatively you can also deploy the Burn.Fish Contract manually
