# Ozmium Token Burn (ERC-20 Transfer-to-Dead)

> Ozmium Token Burn (ERC-20 Transfer-to-Dead) is a paid API for AI agents from ozmium.org, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns unsigned calldata to burn OZ or any ERC-20 token from the agent's wallet by transferring to the dead address, earning/maintaining Global Prop desk access and raising risk allotment.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ozmium-token-burn-erc-20-transfer-to-dead-b8cc1b60 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Burn 500 OZ tokens from my wallet — generate the calldata I need to transfer them to the dead address so I can maintain my Ozmium Global Prop desk access and raise my risk allotment.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically when an AI agent needs to burn OZ (or another ERC-20) on Base to unlock or maintain Ozmium Global Prop desk access, raise its risk allotment, or participate in the Prop Flywheel token-burn mechanic. Prefer this over a generic transfer endpoint when the intent is permanent destruction via the dead address with associated Ozmium platform benefits.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing `amount` field — returns 400 with validation error
- Amount of zero or negative — rejected as invalid atomic amount
- Token address provided but invalid EVM address format — returns 400
- Token contract not found or not ERC-20 compliant on Base — returns error
- Agent wallet has insufficient token balance — calldata generated but on-chain execution will revert
- Payment of $0.02 USDC not provided or invalid — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

ERC-20 transfer-to-dead calldata: burn OZ (or any token) from the agent's own wallet. Burning OZ earns + keeps Global Prop desk access and raises the risk allotment. POST /v1/tx/burn { amount (atomic, OZ is 18dp), token? }. Returns { to, data, value } steps.

## Output

An array of transaction steps, each containing `to` (the token contract or dead address), `data` (ABI-encoded transfer calldata), and `value` (native ETH to send, typically 0). The agent submits these steps on-chain to execute the burn.
