Can a Burned Token Ever Be Recovered?

No, a token that has been properly burned cannot be recovered. Burning involves sending the tokens to a verified 'burn address' that has no known private key, making the tokens cryptographically inaccessible and permanently removed from circulation.

The action is irreversible and recorded immutably on the blockchain, which is the source of its deflationary power.
