Here's the thing—burning AF funds is basically redundant. Why? Because they're already sitting in a locked wallet. No transfers possible. No withdrawals. No selling. No usage. Period. Unless there's a hard fork, nothing gets moved.



So when the AF acquires new tokens? They're instantly locked down the same way. The end result is identical to burning them, right from the moment they hit that wallet. Whether you formally burn them or not makes zero difference.

Basically, there's no difference between locking and burning; both have to die.

Basically, it's just a facade. Is there any fundamental difference between locking tokens and burning? Anyway, neither can be changed.

Basically, it's the same old trick with a different flavor—locking the wallet and burning tokens are the same thing.

actually, if we examine this through the lens of game theory... locked wallets are just burns with extra steps. TL;DR for the newcomers: immobilized assets = deflationary pressure regardless of semantics (Sources: basic tokenomics principles).

Locking a wallet = disguised burning. This logic actually makes sense.

Basically, locking a wallet is just a way of burning tokens; there's no need to make it so complicated.

Locking a wallet is essentially a form of burning. Why bother with an official name? It's just self-comforting.
