# BurnEmissionMustBeZero (/docs/errors/chain/BurnEmissionMustBeZero)

Slot 0 (burn) of the emission weight vector was set to a non-zero share. Burning alpha emission is reserved for a future runtime; in v1 the burn share must be 0 (or simply omitted).

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`policy_violation`](/docs/errors/policy-violation).
