# TokenBurn

Burns tokens from the Token's treasury Account. If no Supply Key is defined, the transaction will resolve to `TOKEN_HAS_NO_SUPPLY_KEY`.

The operation decreases the Total Supply of the Token. Total supply cannot go below zero.

The amount provided must be in the lowest denomination possible. Example:

Token A has 2 decimals. In order to burn 100 tokens, one must provide amount of 10000. In order to burn 100.55 tokens, one must provide amount of 10055.
