The Atomicals observation's name for the slow, unintentional burn of ARC-20 tokens: with protocol-aware wallets gone, holders spending the colored sats through ordinary wallets scramble or burn them under the protocol's own rules. The Shared Claim Axiom calls it "blockspace burning continuously at scale".
