Why burning safely matters

Burning assets requires granting approval to a smart contract, which may raise safety concerns if done incorrectly.

Base Incinerator is built to make this process as safe and transparent as possible.

Why approvals are required

To burn ERC20 tokens or NFTs, the smart contract must be allowed to transfer the selected asset from your wallet. This approval is strictly limited to what is necessary for the burn operation.

No additional permissions are requested to complete the transaction.

Why this is safer than manual transfers

Manually sending tokens or NFTs to random or unknown addresses can be risky:

• Funds may be sent to incorrect addresses

• Assets could remain recoverable by someone else

• Mistakes are often irreversible

Base Incinerator removes this uncertainty by using a verified smart contract designed specifically for asset burning.

Safe handling of approvals

Approvals granted to the Base Incinerator contract are used only to transfer assets into an unrecoverable smart contract destination.

The contract does not attempt to access unrelated assets, drain wallets, or perform hidden actions.

Using a dedicated burn interface is significantly safer than interacting with unknown contracts or sending assets blindly in an attempt to remove them from your wallet.

Built with user safety in mind

Base Incinerator provides a clear UI, on-chain verification, and explicit user actions so you always know:

• What asset you are burning

• What approval is required

• What transaction you are signing
