> Notes, to be further fleshed out.

**XAN burn in intents**

- Users can elect to burn XAN in intents
- Intent processors (solvers, relay nodes) can require that a certain amount of XAN is burned
  - Configurable ruleset. Could require e.g. % burn for swaps.
  - Minimum burn agreed to in some consensus (governance).
  - Extra above that solvers can take as a tip.
  - Enforcement
    - Enforcement in what messages nodes accept
    - Intents can require matched intents to also burn
    - Users select only solvers who follow these rules (maybe also staked)

- Intent fees can also be paid in other tokens to the XAN foreign reserve (same mechanism).

**Sequencing fees**

- Top-of-block auctions (for e.g. Binance arbitrage and such). XAN collected thereby is burned.
- Priority fees for the rest of the block. XAN collected thereby is burned.
- These fees can also be paid in other tokens, they are either sent to the foreign reserve or swapped for XAN which is burned afterwards.
