# Overview

Convert n’ Burn is Wanchain’s Bridge Fees, Discounts and Benefits system. It was designed with two primary goals in mind: to offset the on-chain costs incurred by the Wanchain Bridge and to create value for the entire Wanchain ecosystem. It achieves both these goals by standardising fees on [WanBridge](/products/wanbridge.md), converting the bulk of collected fees to [WAN coins](/cross-chain-infrastructure/wan-coin.md), and redistributing the value throughout the entirety of the Wanchain ecosystem.

By aligning every component of the Wanchain ecosystem, including but not limited to Wanchain’s industry-leading [cross-chain infrastructure](/cross-chain-infrastructure/wanchain-bridge-node-group.md), the [Wanchain L1 blockchain](broken://pages/ZiJoxkixshZnOyHGATRR), the [WAN coin](/cross-chain-infrastructure/wan-coin.md) and the Wanchain community, Convert n’ Burn is a shining example of the kinds of synergies that form when the whole works in unison.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.wanchain.org/the-convert-n-burn-system/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
