Let's implement a function that burns a specified amount of STX from the tx-sender:
(define-public (burn-stx (amount uint)) (stx-burn? amount tx-sender));; Usage(burn-stx u60) ;; Returns (ok true) if successful(burn-stx u50) ;; Returns (err u1) if the sender does not have enough balance
This example demonstrates:
Using stx-burn? to burn a specified amount of STX from the tx-sender.
Implementing a public function to handle the STX burning operation.
The stx-burn? function is a fundamental tool for burning STX from a principal's account in Clarity smart contracts. It allows developers to implement logic that requires reducing the circulating supply of STX, ensuring data integrity and simplifying STX burning operations. When used effectively, stx-burn? enhances the reliability and maintainability of your smart contract code by providing a clear and concise way to handle STX burning operations.
