Go to [Bithomp](https://bithomp.com/) and connect your Xaman wallet.
2. Find the NFT you want to burn in your collection. It will show the image, name, and Token ID.\
3. Tap the red **Burn** button. 4. Review ad sign the transaction in Xaman. \[Bithomp screenshot showing NFT card with Burn button] That's it. The NFT is gone. ### Method 2: NFT Burn xApp A community xApp that lets you burn an NFT directly inside Xaman. You'll need the NFTokenID (64 hex characters). {% hint style="info" %} This is a community xApp (made by XRPLWin). It is not operated by Xaman. {% endhint %} 1. Open the [NFT Burn xApp](https://xumm.app/detect/xapp:xrplwin.nftburn) in Xaman. 2. Paste the NFTokenID. 3. Tap Burn and confirm in Xaman. To find your NFTokenID, check the NFT details in Xaman or ask support. ### Method 3: Manual (XRPL.Services Raw JSON) If the above options don't work for you, you can submit the burn transaction manually using XRPL.Services.
1. Sign in to XRPL.Services with the account that owns the NFT. \[XRPL.Services sign-in screenshot] Navigate to *XRPL Tools > Raw JSON Transactions > NFTokenBurn Template*. Update the field values as follows: | Field | Description | | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Account` | *(Required)* The address of the account initiating the transaction. | | `Owner` | *(Optional)* The owner of the NFToken. Only needed if different from the sending account. | | `NFTokenID` | *(Required)* The 64-character NFTokenID to burn. | N.B. The "Sequence" and "Fee" fields are not present since Xaman handles those. `{ "TransactionType": "NFTokenBurn", "Account": "rNCFjv8Ek5oDrNiMJ3pw6eLLFtMjZLJnf2", "Owner": "rvYAfWj5gh67oV6fW32ZzP3Aw4Eubs59B", "NFTokenID": "000B013A95F14B0044F78A264E41713C64B5F89242540EE208C3098E00000D65" }` Remove the `Owner` line if the sender is the owner. Submit the transaction via the button under the code block. \[Submit button screenshot] Update the Memo if necessary, then select **Confirm**. \[Confirm screenshot] A QR Code screen appears.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.xaman.app/app/learning-more-about-xaman/nfts/nft-burn-process.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
