Burn NFTs​

Burn (transfer to a non-recoverable address) an NFT.

Burning

Burning does not "delete" the NFT; the token ID and metadata will still be available on-chain.

const Component = () => {
  const { contract } = useContract(<ContractAddress>);
  const {
    mutate: burnNft,
    isLoading,
    error,
  } = useBurnNFT(contract);

  if (error) {
    console.error("failed to burn nft", error);
  }

  return (
    <button
      disabled={isLoading}
      onClick={() => burnNft({ tokenId: 0 })}
    >
      Burn!
    </button>
  );
};
