Burn coins to reduce how much exists (what it means for your community)

“Burning” sounds dramatic, but the idea is simple: you remove coins from circulation in a public way the chain can record.

Teams burn for different reasons: buyback-and-burn stories, cleaning up mistakes before you make big promises, or showing discipline during a campaign.

Use the burner tool (no code)

1. Open Solana Token Burner.
2. Connect the wallet that holds the coins you want to remove.
3. Choose the coin and the amount.
4. Read the preview carefully—burning should not be a surprise click.
5. Approve in your wallet and save an explorer link as a receipt.

Talk about it plainly with your community

If burning is part of your story, post the explorer link so people can verify what changed. Trust comes from receipts, not from big claims alone.

If you need more coins instead

Burning is not the opposite of printing. Printing only works if you still kept that permission. See Mint new coins.
