Yeah I didn't have time to get into it because I ended the post with "we gotta be smart about this".
So how this should be done is a topic for a whole other post.
I envision burns creating new assets like NFTs or derivative tokens.
Instead of the money going to a centralized agent the network buries it forever.
Value should never get destroyed but transferred somewhere else.
If that transfer is one way then it's a burn.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Hmmm... you could lock the tokens being burned in an NFT, but not sure what that would do.
Waiting for that new post to see where you are going with this concept...
It's more like the only way the NFT can be minted is if an asset gets burned.
Otherwise if the money gets sent to the entity that created the NFT that entity can send themselves money to create infinite NFTs. By destroying the money we can show provably on-chain that nobody can mint infinite tokens for free.
We could think of this as the burned tokens being locked inside the NFT but it would really just all be lumped into @null on a technical level.
