How to Burn SPL & LP Tokens on Solana (2025 Guide)

Burning tokens on Solana is a permanent on-chain action that reduces a token’s circulating supply. Whether you're a developer, liquidity provider, project owner, or simply someone holding unwanted SPL or LP tokens, burning them ensures that the tokens are permanently removed from circulation.

This guide provides a complete, step-by-step explanation of how to burn tokens using Phantom Wallet (or any wallet) and the Solana Token Burner — a trusted OG dApp used since the early Solana days. The process is fast, decentralized, requires zero coding knowledge, and executes fully on-chain through your wallet.

🔥 What Is Token Burning?

Token burning is the process of sending SPL tokens to a burn instruction that permanently removes them from the Solana supply. This is commonly used by:

Developers reducing token supply
Projects burning remaining LP tokens
Users removing spam tokens or unwanted airdrops
Communities ensuring proof-of-burn transparency

Because burning is irreversible, always confirm the token address and amount before approving the transaction.

⚙️ What You Need Before Burning

A Phantom Wallet or any Solana-compatible wallet
A small amount of SOL to pay the network fee
You must own the SPL or LP tokens you want to burn

SolTokenBurner works on both desktop and mobile versions of Phantom and executes each burn directly on the blockchain.

🚀 Step-by-Step: How to Burn Tokens Using Phantom

1. Open SolTokenBurner

Go to https://soltokenburner.com/. In the top-right corner, click Select Wallet and connect your wallet.

2. Load Your Tokens

Click the REFRESH button. The app will scan your wallet and display all SPL and LP tokens associated with your address. If you hold many tokens, it may take a few seconds for all balances to appear.

3. Choose How You Want to Burn

You have two options:

Burn All — burns the entire token amount in your wallet.
Input Amount to Burn — burns a custom selected amount.

When selecting a custom burn amount, the app automatically fills in the token account address, token mint, and decimals. You only need to enter the amount and approve the burn.

4. Approve the Transaction in Phantom

Phantom will display the burn instruction details. Review the token and burn amount. Once you confirm, the burn is executed instantly and permanently on-chain.

🔍 How to Verify the Burn on Solscan

After burning, go to SolScan and paste your wallet address. Your latest transaction will show a clear burn instruction confirming:

Token mint burned
Amount burned
Token account used
Signature hash for blockchain verification

This transaction link can be shared publicly for transparency, commonly used by developers and communities proving supply reduction.
