# Burning

**"Burning"** crypto means permanently removing some tokens from game circulation. Burning is typically done by transferring the tokens in question to a burn address, i.e. a wallet from which they cannot ever be retrieved. A project burns its tokens to reduce the overall supply.

In the Minerio metaverse, based on token circulation in the P2E ecosystem, a burning pool will be created approximately every eight months. We will burn those tokens to reduce the overall supply. We will update you about the ![](/files/9EtazxclTpgsjwt0XXZf)Rioz token events on our [official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/MinerioGame).

The Halving and Burning in the Minerio will be approximately four months apart and not simultaneous. Please follow our [official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/MinerioGame) to learn more and get the latest news.
