Summary:
A user known as nd4.eth has been burning crypto and NFTs, with Arkham documenting their actions. In the past two hours, nd4.eth burned $3.59M worth of tokens, following previous burns of $1.8M of GNS and >$1M of GMX. Initially, only tokens were burned, but later NFTs were also targeted.
Key Points:
– Burning crypto and NFTs involves sending them to an address with nonexistent private keys.
– Tokens can be burned, as well as NFTs, which are non-fungible tokens.
– Sending tokens to an address with no private key renders them unusable and removes them from circulation forever.
– Any token can be burned by sending it to an address without a private key, and this process is irreversible.
– nd4.eth has intentionally burned a significant amount of tokens and NFTs, totaling over $8 million in market value.
The Hot Take:
The motive behind nd4.eth’s burning spree remains unknown, but it is unlikely to be a planned reduction of supply. The ongoing nature of the burns and media coverage suggest intentionality. The reasons for this sensational gesture may eventually be revealed by nd4.eth themselves.
