Burn & Claim Hero
The brief

Burn & Claim reclaims rent from unused accounts and NFTs. It is an irreversible on-chain action, so the app had to look trustworthy before anyone would connect a wallet. The challenge was double: feel safe without turning solemn, and read as part of Aerosol while keeping a character of its own.

Burn & Claim is a Solana app that turns the junk in your wallet back into SOL. Dead tokens, forgotten NFTs and empty accounts that have been sitting there for years get burned in a single flow, and the rent goes back into your pocket.

The brand starts from a flame shaped like a drop, a direct nod to burning and reclaiming value at the same time. That grew into a character in sunglasses that takes the solemnity out of what is, underneath, an irreversible on chain operation. Bold red over deep purple, heavy condensed type, and a system that holds up equally well as a lone symbol, as the full lockup, and in black and white.

The app redesign carried that tone into the product: onboarding that explains the risk without scaring anyone, a wallet view that sorts what can be reclaimed and what it is worth, and a flow where part of what you recover goes to the projects building on Solana. Every screen is built so that burning feels clear, controlled and even fun.
