Could you elaborate on the concept of a "cryptocurrency burn" and explain how it functions within the realm of digital currencies? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the process, its purpose, and any potential implications it may have on the overall supply, value, and ecosystem of a particular cryptocurrency. How does a burn mechanism typically work? What are the benefits and potential risks associated with this practice? Could you provide an example or two to further illustrate the concept?

The burn wallet functions differently from a traditional crypto wallet. It only receives tokens and does not possess the ability to send them out.
