Proof of Burn

Proof of Burn is a Giraffish Moment you cannot buy. The only way to get one is to permanently destroy MAGA Giraffes.

MAGA Giraffe is a closed collection — 1,030 were made and no more can ever exist. Every burn makes it smaller forever, and there is no undo.

How it works

Two steps, and they are deliberately separate.

1. Burn a MAGA Giraffe. Each one banks 1 credit.
2. Redeem credits for Proof of Burn mints, at the rates below.

You don't have to do both at once. Credits sit in your balance, so you can burn a few today, a few tomorrow, and redeem when you've reached a rate you like.

The rates

Burn	You get	Rate
2 credits	1 Proof of Burn	0.50x
5 credits	3 Proof of Burn	0.60x
10 credits	7 Proof of Burn	0.70x
25 credits	20 Proof of Burn	0.80x

Every tier burns more than it mints — that's the point. Burning bigger loses you proportionally less, so 25 at a time is the best rate available.

You redeem in packs. Sitting on 12 credits, you could take the 10-pack for 7 and keep 2 back, or take five 2-packs for 5. The larger pack is always the better deal.

Read this before you burn

• Burning is permanent. The MAGA Giraffe is destroyed on-chain. Nobody — not us, not you — can bring it back.
• Leftover credits are lost when the window closes. The smallest pack costs 2 credits, so an odd balance always strands one. If you finish on an odd number, burn one more or lose it.
• The artwork is revealed later. Right now you're minting a placeholder. That's the whole idea of the drop — but it does mean you're burning something irreplaceable for a piece you haven't seen.
• You need a Giraffe. Burning is for Giraffe holders — a MAGA Giraffe on its own is not enough. A rented or delegated Giraffe counts.
• Only NFTs in your Gary Club wallet can be burned. If yours are in Phantom, move them across first. It takes about a minute.

You end up with more SOL, not less

Every Solana NFT locks up a small amount of SOL as account rent. Burning one closes those accounts and returns that rent to you — roughly 0.011 SOL per MAGA Giraffe. Minting a Proof of Burn costs roughly 0.004 SOL.

So burning 10 returns about 0.111 SOL, and the 7 Proof of Burns it earns cost about 0.027. You come out ahead on SOL at every tier. Gary Club never pays these fees for you and never takes a cut of them — the rent was always yours.

The window

Proof of Burn runs for 7 days. When it closes, burning stops, unredeemed credits expire, and the piece is never mintable again. Whatever supply exists at the end is the supply forever.

The scoreboard

The drop page tracks how many MAGA Giraffes have been destroyed, how many remain in existence, and who has burned the most. That number only ever moves one direction.

Common questions

Can I get my MAGA Giraffe back?
No. Burning is irreversible.

What if I burn but never redeem?
Your credits expire when the window closes and the burn is not refunded. Redeem before the deadline.

Do I need to burn all at once?
No. Credits accumulate across as many sessions as you like, right up to the deadline.

Does burning affect my Giraffe holder status?
MAGA Giraffes are a separate collection from Giraffe Tower. Burning a MAGA does not affect Giraffe holder roles or perks.

Can I sell Proof of Burn afterwards?
Yes. It's a normal Giraffish Moment and trades on the Gary Club marketplace and Magic Eden like any other.
