# Destroy The Burn instruction removes the NFT account directly from the chain, effectively removing the NFT from circulation permanently. There is no other way to reduce the provisioning on the chain. This is similar to transferring to an account with an unknown private key or destroying an account with a private key. But the act of destruction using the Burn instruction is more explicit and can be confirmed directly on the chain by either party. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.put.com/library/nft-program/operation-overview/destroy.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. 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.
