Destroy a Foundry
If at any point you want to disable the production of your native token, you should destroy the foundry. However, you can only destroy a foundry output as long as its circulating native token supply is zero.
A foundry can only be destroyed (and its storage deposit be claimed) if the circulating supply is zero. Therefore if you control the foundry and want to destroy it in the future, you should consider melting your native tokens instead of burning them.
Example Code
Before you run the example, you should make sure the first foundry on your account has zero circulating supply. If you have no available foundries, you can create one by creating a native token. If you've already created your tokens but need to empty the foundry, you can decrease your native token supply by melting them.

Wallet, get Alice'sAccountwhich was created in the first guide and sync it. - Get the first foundry in the account's balance.
- Burn the foundry by calling the
Account.burn()function.
