 # minimal-eth-burner
 
-In Ethereum, it's common to send ETH to a "burner address" like [`0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead`](https://etherscan.io/address/0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead) to effectively "destroy" ETH.

-However, this ETH is theoretically recoverable if the private key for this public address is ever discovered. The only way to actually destroy ETH is by sending ETH to a smart contract which calls `SELFDESTRUCT` and sends its ETH to itself.
+However, this ETH is theoretically recoverable if the private key for this public address is ever discovered. The only way to actually destroy ETH is by either:
+- Burning it in [EIP-1559](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1559) transaction base gas fees, or
+- Sending ETH to a smart contract which calls `SELFDESTRUCT` and sends its ETH to itself.
 
 This repository contains the minimal amount of code to create a new smart contract that immediately calls `SELFDESTRUCT` and sends its ETH to itself. All ETH sent to the smart contract creation transaction will be irreversibly destroyed.
