# 🔥Burn (moUSD)

***Burning***** refers to paying back your moUSD debt in order to redeem your outstanding collateral.** If your moUSD balance is not enough to pay the entire portion of the debt, you can buy moUSD on the open market.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Please note: new-minted moUSD can only be burned 30 minutes after their mint to minimize the impact on the global debt.**
{% endhint %}

In order to use the burn feature, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the "Mint & Burn" page and select the "Burn" tab on the left component.
