Melt Native Tokens

Melting native tokens means converting or "melting" them into their foundry. This changes the circulating supply and allows for new tokens to be minted again.

info

If you melt your native tokens, you can still destroy the foundry that created them.

Example Code

Rust

1. Instantiate a Wallet, get Alice's Account which was created in the first guide and sync it.

2. Melt MELT_AMOUNT native tokens by calling the Account.melt_native_token() function.
