Meta Mask - burn transaction

I am new to MetaMask API. I am looking for how to burn a NFT, but I cannot find it in the documentation.

I've seen a post on Stackoverflow similar to what I am looking for, but the burn transaction was done with Solidity. Is there anyway that I can achieve this by using MetaMask API?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much. Gary

Solution

  • Metamask's job is to connect you to the networks and provide you with account service. Burning an NFT is calling the burn method written on the contract.

    NFT is eventually an ERC721 token, it is a smart contract and if burn functionality is not written, you cannot burn it or kill it.

    Burning an NFT effectively destroys the token and removes it entirely from the Ethereum blockchain. On the NFT platform that you are using, there should be an option like "BURN THE TOKEN". Once you click on it, you calling the burn method on the smart contract.
