How to Burn Solana Tokens

To burn Solana tokens on DexLab, open the token in Token Hub, select the Manage tab, open the Burn Token card, enter the amount to burn, and sign the transaction in your wallet. The burned tokens are removed from your wallet balance and from the token total supply permanently.

Burning only touches tokens you hold: the flow burns from the balance of the connected wallet, never from anyone else. The Manage tab covers tokens created with DexLab Minting Lab.

How to Burn Tokens Step by Step

  1. Open your token in Token Hub

    Go to Token Hub and open the page of the token you want to burn. Connect the wallet that holds the tokens; the Burn Token card stays disabled when the wallet holds no balance.

  2. Select the Manage tab

    The Manage tab lists the management actions for the token. It is available for tokens created with the current DexLab Minting Lab; tokens created elsewhere show a notice instead.

  3. Open the Burn Token card

    The card opens a form with a single amount field. It is enabled while your token account holds a balance and is not frozen.

  4. Enter the amount to burn

    The form shows your current balance and previews the balance after the burn, so you can confirm the exact effect before signing. Amounts above your balance are blocked.

  5. Sign the transaction

    The app simulates the transaction first and then asks your wallet to sign. Once the transaction confirms, the tokens are destroyed on-chain and the total supply drops by the burned amount.

Token burning FAQ

What does burning a token do?
Burning destroys tokens permanently. The burned amount leaves your wallet balance and the token total supply at the same time, and no one can recover it.
Can a burn be reversed?
No. A confirmed burn is final. If the token still has an active mint authority, that authority could mint new tokens in the future, but the burned tokens themselves are gone.Revoke mint or freeze authority
Can I burn tokens held by someone else?
No. The burn flow removes tokens from the balance of the connected wallet only. Tokens in other wallets are untouchable.
Do I need mint authority to burn tokens?
No. Burning your own balance requires holding the tokens, not the mint authority. The Burn Token card is enabled by your balance, while the authority cards are separate.
How much does burning cost?
A small Minting Lab service fee applies, defined per action by the on-chain fee configuration; tokens created through Minting Lab pay 50 percent of the standard fee. The Solana network fee is added on top, and your wallet shows the exact total before you sign.Token creation cost
Why is the Manage tab not available for my token?
The Manage tab covers tokens created with the current DexLab Minting Lab. Tokens created with the legacy version or outside DexLab show a notice instead of the management cards.Create a Solana token
