Phantom Wallet introduces option to burn unwanted NFTs to fight NFT Spam

Spam is a hard problem to solve as bad actors are taking advantage of Solana’s low transaction fees to exploit iconic mechanics of web3, such as NFT airdrops. Luckily Phantom Wallet is introducing an option to delete such unwanted NFTs .To remove unwanted wallet spam, simply select the NFT you want to burn in the Collectables Tab and select the Burn Token function located in the top-right ellipsis menu.

Once an NFT is burned, the token is permanently removed from the wallet and you receive a small deposit of SOL. Woohoo!
