- Provide transparent burning processes with verifiable results
- Track all burn transactions in a database for statistical display
- Ensure compliance with Solana network standards
- Offer variable burn options with different fee structures

## Target Users

- Project teams conducting token burns
- Crypto enthusiasts supporting deflationary mechanisms

## Tech Stack

- **Frontend**: Next.js 14 (App Router), Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
- **Backend**: Next.js API Routes (or Server Actions)
- **Database**: Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL (hosted on Vercel Postgres or Supabase)
