Understanding Storage Deposits

Creating a Collection or Token on the Enjin Blockchain requires a certain amount of ENJ tokens to be deposited as a Storage Deposit. It's important to understand that these deposits are not fees, but rather, they serve as a temporary hold of ENJ tokens.
The key feature of these deposits is that they are refundable.
When the storage used for the Collection or Token is destroyed, the issuer will have the storage deposit returned.
For example, if a collection is destroyed, the collection storage deposit will be returned to the collection owner.
In this guide you will learn how to completely destroy a token and a collection
