Mint or Burn Solana Tokens

Create more supply of a token you control, or permanently destroy tokens from your own balance.

Solana0.1 SOL per action

Wallet not connected

Connect your wallet to mint more supply or burn tokens. You sign every action yourself, and nothing is custodial.

How to mint or burn Solana tokens

  1. Connect your wallet and paste the token's mint address, or pick it from the recent list.
  2. To mint: you must still hold the mint authority. If it has been revoked, no more supply can ever be created and the panel will say so.
  3. Enter how many whole tokens to create and which wallet receives them. The default is your own.
  4. To burn: enter an amount to destroy from your own balance. You cannot burn tokens held by anyone else, whatever authority you hold.
  5. Approve in your wallet. The new total supply is visible to everyone the moment it confirms.

Common questions

Can I mint more tokens after revoking the mint authority?

No. Revoking is permanent, and once it is done the supply is fixed forever. Nothing on this page, and nothing anywhere else, can create more. If you think you may need to mint again, do not revoke yet.

Does burning tokens increase the price?

Not on its own. Burning reduces the total supply, which changes a ratio on paper, but price comes from what people are willing to pay in the pool. A burn with no demand behind it moves a number in an explorer and very little else. Treat anyone promising otherwise with suspicion.

Can I burn tokens from someone else's wallet?

No, and nobody can. Burning destroys tokens from the balance of the wallet that signs the transaction. There is no authority on a Solana token that lets one wallet burn another's holdings. If you want a supply reduction you have to hold the tokens first.

Is burning reversible?

No. Burned tokens are destroyed rather than moved somewhere recoverable, and the total supply falls by that amount permanently. Check the amount and the decimal point twice before approving.

Will people see that I minted more?

Yes. Minting and burning are ordinary on-chain transactions and both are permanently visible, along with the wallet that did them. Explorers show the supply history. A supply that quietly grows is the most common reason a token loses trust, so if you are going to mint, say so first.

What is the difference between burning tokens and burning LP tokens?

Burning tokens here destroys supply of your token. Burning LP tokens destroys the claim on a liquidity pool, which is how a project locks its liquidity so it can never be pulled. They are separate actions with different consequences, and LP burning has its own tool.

Minting: what it costs you in trust

Creating more supply is technically easy and reputationally expensive. Every new token dilutes everyone who already holds one, so from a holder's point of view an unannounced mint is indistinguishable from being quietly charged. That is why the first thing a careful buyer checks is whether the mint authority still exists at all.

If your project genuinely needs to mint, the way to do it without damage is to publish the schedule before you need it, mint to the amounts you published, and revoke the authority the moment you are finished. Predictability is the whole difference between an emissions plan and a dilution.

Burning: what it does and does not do

Burning permanently destroys tokens from your own balance and reduces the total supply by that amount. It is genuinely irreversible, which is what makes it a credible signal: nobody can un-burn a treasury allocation they promised to give up.

What it does not do is create demand. Supply is one half of a price and the smaller half in practice. A burn is worth doing when it removes supply you had promised not to sell, and worth very little when it is done purely for the announcement.

You can only ever burn your own

Worth stating plainly because people ask: there is no authority on a standard Solana token that lets you burn tokens out of someone else's wallet. Not the mint authority, not the freeze authority, not anything. Burning works on the balance of whichever wallet signs. If a site tells you otherwise it is describing something other than a standard SPL token.
