What is a coin burn and how does it affect supply?

A coin burn is the permanent removal of tokens from circulation by sending them to a wallet address that no one can access, so the coins can never be spent again. Burning reduces the total supply, which can affect how scarcity is perceived. For example, if a project burns 10% of its tokens, the circulating count drops accordingly. A burn changes supply mechanics but does not by itself determine price, which depends on demand and many other factors. This is a general protocol mechanism.
