Burnbit is an experimental framework exploring ephemeral data deletion, cryptographic proofs of destruction, and user-controlled information lifecycle. It investigates combining hardware-backed secure deletion, on-chain attestations, and distributed storage tactics to give users stronger guarantees that data was irrecoverably removed after a defined lifecycle.

The most pragmatic limitation: In a BurnBit experiment where a file is "burned" into the network and later resurrected, the resurrection requires a seed to appear at the exact moment when peers are most desperate. In practice, this meant experimenters had to maintain a "spore server"—a hidden seed that would activate once every 60 days. That defeated the purpose of a serverless system.
