# Crosschain burn / redeem

Highlight offers crosschain burn / redeem (burn NFTs on one chain, to automatically redeem NFTs on another), as well as burn / redeem on the same chain. Both mechanisms use mint mechanic smart contracts that can be permissionlessly used (SeedBasedMintMechanic on the burn chain, and GaslessMechanic on the redeem chain).&#x20;

In the crosschain case, Highlight's engine will automatically fulfill crosschain redeems for burns using these mechanic contracts, even if the burn / redeem vector was created entirely permissionlessly.
