# Burn to Mint Drops

Burn-to-mint NFTs are special NFTs that you can destroy to produce a new one. This mechanism is often used to help minimize gas fees for buyers or to reward holders of other NFT collections.

Burn to mint is a special type of drop where users burn an NFT from their wallet inorder to obtain a new NFT. This structure is often used to reduce the impact of gas fees or to reward existing token holders. 

Using this strategy, a creator can sell initial NFTs on a L2 chain like Polygon or Solana, but then allow users to claim their Ethereum based NFTs at a future date by burning the initial NFT.
