# Part 5: Burning tokens

You can burn tokens through the FT4 session object, which exposes a `burn` method that removes tokens from the account.

asset\_management/src/hooks/token-hooks.ts

```
import { useFtSession } from "@chromia/react";
import { publicClientConfig as clientConfig } from "@/utils/generate-client-config";

interface BurnTokenParams {
  ticker: string;
  name: string;
  amount: number;
}

function useBurnTokens() {
  const { data: ftAccounts } = useFtAccounts({ clientConfig });
  const { data: session } = useFtSession(
    ftAccounts?.length ? { clientConfig, account: ftAccounts[0] } : null,
  );

  const burnTokens = useCallback(
    async (token: BurnTokenParams) => {
      if (!session) return;

      try {
        await session.account.burn(token.ticker, createAmount(token.amount));

        onSuccess?.(token);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);

        onError?.(token);
      }
    },
    [session],
  );

  return burnTokens;
}
```

The snippet calls `burn` on the session's account property, passing the number of tokens to burn.
