Burning is irreversible. Burned tokens are permanently destroyed and cannot be recovered. Make sure you understand what you’re doing before confirming.
Burn mode sends selected tokens to a burn address, permanently removing them from circulating supply. This is available on Solana only.

​
How it works

  1. Switch to Solana in the Command Center and connect a Solana wallet
  2. Toggle from “Convert” to “Burn” using the action switch
  3. Select the tokens you want to burn
  4. Click “Burn Tokens” and approve the transaction in your wallet
PocketChange builds unsigned burn transactions for the selected tokens. You sign them in your wallet and the tokens are sent to a dead address. Command Center in Burn mode showing Burn toggle active, red Burn Tokens button, and permanent destruction warning

Partial burns

You can burn a percentage of your token balance instead of the full amount. Use the sell percentage selector (25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%) to control how much of each selected token gets burned. The remaining balance stays in your wallet.
Partial burns are useful if you want to reduce a token’s supply without fully destroying your position. To close the token account and reclaim rent, you need to burn 100%.

​
Why burn

Burning is useful when a token has no liquidity to swap against. Instead of leaving dead tokens sitting in your wallet, burning removes them permanently. On Solana, burning also makes token accounts eligible for closure, which reclaims the ~0.002 SOL rent locked in each account. Some users burn tokens to reduce the visible supply of a project, which can be shared as proof on-chain.

​
Burn warning

When burn mode is active, a warning is shown below the execute button:
Your tokens will be permanently destroyed. This action cannot be undone.

​
After burning

The success overlay shows:
  • Title: “Burn Complete”
  • Fire icon (instead of the checkmark used for conversions)
  • “Burned” count and per-token status log
  • Subtitle: “Tokens burned successfully. Ashes to ashes.”
Each burned token can be shared individually on X with a link to the on-chain proof:

​
Limitations

  • Burn is Solana only. On EVM chains (Ethereum, BSC, Base), the toggle is locked to Convert.
  • Token value is recorded even for burns so your Mission Logs reflect the USD value that was destroyed.
  • If you switch to an EVM chain while in burn mode, the app automatically resets to Convert.
