How to burn an ENS domain through PublicBurn.eth (Burned PUBLICLY)

You can burn ENS domains by sending your tokens to one of the burn addresses.

Using a common hot wallet app to burn ENS tokens.

1. Using OpenSea, find the ENS asset you wish to burn.

2. Select the domain and choose the "Send to" option

3. Enter the ENS tagged domain: PUBLICBURN.ETH

4. Click on the Send Button to begin the transfer

5. Once finished, you will see a confirmation that you successfully sent the ENS token to PublicBurn.eth

[Disclaimer: We are not suggesting in any way that you should burn your own tokens. These addresses are used by the community to burn problematic names that the community has determined to be problematic. This method of burning tokens is used by many projects and by people who can afford to "lose" money. There are many other ways to contribute to burning that doesn't require you to spend any money]

What does it mean to 'burn tokens'?

When tokens are sent to an unusable address it is removed from circulation, it is similar to harm reduction in the sense we are reducing the number of "foul" domains in the market. When items are sent to a burn wallet, they cannot be accessed by anyone and have no obtainable keys. Burning removes the ability for these domains to be used, making the tokens irrelevant. 

[Discla imer: The Burn Project is not suggesting that people should throw away their hard-earned money directly into burns expecting to see the price go up. This is for the community and is not for financial gain.]

  4. 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Using ENS tagging we are able to simplify the burn process.
