Burning Rewards by Sending to @null on Hive

Sending rewards to @null means transferring HIVE, HBD, or HP directly to the null account, which permanently destroys them by removing them from circulation. This is a manual process via a Hive wallet or transaction tools, often used to burn dust amounts or excess rewards.

For author vs. curator rewards:

• Author rewards: These are fully burned if sent to @null. These are the 75% pool (by default) from upvotes, claimable by the post author.
• Curator rewards: Separate 25% pool (default) for voters. These aren't automatically burned with the author's; you'd need to handle them individually (e.g., if claiming as curator, then burn). Sending author rewards to @null doesn't touch curators' shares.

Rewards aren't sent to @null automatically—it's a deliberate action post-claiming. For unclaimed burns, see witness proposals like !BERW. Check Hive docs or @null for details.
