How this works

What a burn is here

There is no burn function on MANIFEST. What everyone calls burning is sending tokens to the zero address, 0x000…000. No private key exists for that address, so nothing sent there can ever move again. It is not locked or vested. It is gone, and anyone can verify the balance sitting there.

What happens when you press burn

This page burns MANIFEST you already hold. It does not buy any for you, and it never asks for your SUI beyond the gas. If you need MANIFEST first, commit on The Pot, because every commit buys some.

One transaction does three things, and either all of them happen or none of them do.

1. Your MANIFEST is gathered. A wallet that has bought five times holds five coins, so they are merged and the exact tier amount is split off. The remainder stays exactly where it was.
2. That amount is destroyed. It goes to the zero address and never comes back.
3. Your boost is recorded against your wallet. In the same transaction, so there is no moment where the tokens are gone and the boost has not landed.

Why the amounts are buttons and not a box

The boost ladder pays at five exact figures: 6.9, 69, 690, 6,900 and 69,000. The contract recognises those and rejects everything else, so an amount in between would simply fail. That is also why this page stopped taking SUI and swapping it: a pool returns 68.4 or 69.7 depending on depth, never a clean 69, so a swap could not land on a tier at all. Burning coins you already hold is exact by construction.

A burn only counts if it goes through the contract. MANIFEST sent straight to 0x0 by hand destroys supply and earns nothing, because the contract has no record of it.

A burn at or below what you hold is refused

If you already have 3x standing, burning for another 3x would take your MANIFEST and leave you no better off, so the contract rejects it and your tokens stay put. The page greys those tiers out once your wallet is connected, and tells you what you are holding. Only a bigger tier raises it. The boost is spent on your next commit.

The sacrifice

The sixth button is not a rung on the ladder. A sacrifice takes any amount and sends it straight to the zero address without touching the contract, which is exactly why the amount is free: there is no tier for it to match. It buys no boost, no ticket and no better odds. All it does is make MANIFEST scarcer for everyone still holding it. It still counts on your card and still unlocks the share, because the card counts MANIFEST arriving at the zero address in a transaction you signed, however it got there.

Why the share button is locked

The card is not made from what you typed. The page reads the chain for MANIFEST that your wallet actually sent to the zero address, and the button only unlocks if it finds some. You can look a wallet up by its .sui name instead of its address, and if a wallet has a name the card shows the name rather than the hex.

The three cards

Just burned is the single burn you just made, and it only lights up after you burn on this page. My total is everything that wallet has ever sent to the zero address. All time is the whole protocol, read from the zero address balance against total supply. Every number comes off chain each time, so none of them can drift.

Where the burns come from

Two sources, and this page is the second one. Every commit to the jackpot sends 20% of the fee to the Circle of Fire, and when that ring fills at 3.69 SUI a keeper spends it buying MANIFEST and burning it, with nobody pressing anything. This page is the other one: burning on purpose, either for a boost at one of the five tiers or as a sacrifice at any size at all.

What is not finished

Two things, deliberately, so the team can see them. The post carries text and a link rather than an attached image, because X only paints a preview from a URL, so the image card needs a route of its own. And the burn check reads 300 transactions deep, so a very heavy wallet gets a floor rather than a wrong number.
