This Wish for Change proposes a “Dark Hole” pallet – a continuously burning account – to address Kusama’s critical inflationary pressures and the loss of effective token burn mechanisms.

Kusama lacks deflationary mechanisms that can counter its high inflation:

• Loss of Burn Mechanisms: The Society pallet no longer burns tokens.
• Ineffective Coretime Market: All cores are acquired, renewals are near-zero cost, and new core sales are blocked.
• Developer Disincentives: Lack of core availability hinders new parachain deployments.
• Conflicting Initiatives: Parity’s Hub initiative wants to concentrate development in a system parachain that doesn't contribute to coretime-based burn.

As AH is positioned to become the center of future development activity, we need a built-in mechanisms in the Hub to capture value from protocols and potentially contribute to the deflation of the token.

I propose adding a simple pallet to AssetHub that acts like the 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 address but actually burning tokens and taking them out of circulation. This enables protocols deployed on AH to create new deflation mechanisms.
This system is compatible with the configurable treasury burn, meaning a future proposal could configure the treasury burn to be directed to the dark hole pallet.

Future changes to the pallet could include an "event horizon" or "radiation" that allows part of the burn to "escape"/be directed to fund other initiatives as per previous WFC
