Phantom is a Solana-based wallet. At present, it is working on implementing “Burn NFT”, a tool to do away with the scams on the network. This week, Phantom launched a burning NFT tool. This tool will allow the users to remove spam and unwanted clutter. In fact, burning an NFT earns a user, a small amount of SOL.
