Preparation and Proof of Burn Capability: what each step checks

Version V0.0.2

Stage What it checks On-chain? Requires tokens? Common fail Fix Preparation (setup + preflight) Read-only setup + burn feasibility preflight No Yes (preflight) Burn wallet empty, missing ATA, invalid RPC/mint Fund burn wallet, create ATA, fix config, rerun Preparation Proof of Burn Capability On-chain verification step (Verification Event) Yes Yes Wrong wallet connected Connect the burn wallet and retry

Notes:

Preparation can pass only when preflight requirements are met.
Proof of Burn Capability is the only step that produces a Verification Event.
Verification Events are not counted in burn totals, charts, or burn limits.
The Verified Badge means the project proved burn capability on-chain (not an endorsement).
