Burn Solana Tokens and Lower the Supply

What burning Solana tokens costs

Tokenry charges no fee for the burn. The only cost of a plain burn is the Solana network fee, about 0.000005 SOL, paid to the Solana network.

If you burn 100% and close the empty account, your wallet gets the account's rent back: about 0.0015 SOL on a new token account. Tokenry takes 2% of the rent returned in the same transaction, 0.00003 SOL on a 0.0015 SOL account. Token accounts opened before Solana cut rent (SIMD-0437) return more, up to about 0.002 SOL. The tool shows the exact rent for each account.

With a 100% burn and close, your wallet receives the rent, minus the Tokenry fee and the network fee. If your wallet does not hold enough SOL, Tokenry does not send the burn, so nothing is charged. A burn that is sent and then fails on Solana still costs the network fee.

What a plain burn costs, all-in, on Tokenry and 3 other Solana tools, with prices checked 2026-11-10 on each tool's own site: Tokenry has no tool fee, so about 0.000005 SOL. IDX Solana charges 0.1 SOL, so about 0.100005 SOL. DEXArea charges 0.05 SOL, so at least 0.050005 SOL. J Tools has no tool fee, so about 0.000005 SOL.

If you emptied a token account and left it open, you can still close it later. Use Tokenry's Solana Incinerator to close empty token accounts and reclaim SOL.

Make the lower supply final

A token burn reduces token supply on Solana by the amount you burn (Solana docs). While the token still has a mint authority, its holder can mint new tokens after the burn and raise the supply again. Revoking the mint authority removes it permanently, and then the supply can never go up (Solana docs). If you hold the mint authority and no longer need to mint, revoke mint authority with Tokenry after the burn.

Proof of the burn for your holders

When the burn confirms, Tokenry reads the token's supply on Solana again. You get a line to copy with the amount burned, the new supply and the Solscan link.

A free share card shows the amount, the token logo and, when known, the USD value and the share of the supply. You can post it on X, download it or copy its link. The share link shows your wallet address and the transaction to anyone who opens it.

SPL, Token-2022 and LP tokens

You can burn SPL tokens and Token-2022 tokens with Tokenry, non-transferable Token-2022 tokens included. On Solana, a burn is not a transfer, so burning a Token-2022 tax token takes no transfer fee (the token's built-in tax) and runs no transfer hook.

A token cannot be burned while its account is frozen or, on Token-2022, while the token is paused. For Raydium LP tokens, use the Solana LP Burner to burn or lock LP tokens.
