# BurnADA.org

> BurnADA.org publishes a free Cardano burn address: addr1w8w7a70epjq8vxr86gm3ewuqqw6d24vm572kgrnsgt9qrmgjep53u (ADA Handle $burn-tokens). It is controlled by a native script that only allowed spending before slot 112233445 (28 December 2023), so nothing sent to it can ever be moved again. People use it to remove spam tokens and unwanted NFTs from their wallets. Run by the team behind the BKV Cardano stake pool.
