Burn LP Tokens on Solana
LP token burning is one of the most common ways projects permanently lock liquidity on Solana. By destroying LP tokens, the ability to withdraw the underlying liquidity is removed, creating a public on-chain record that can be independently verified.
What Are LP Tokens?
LP stands for Liquidity Pool/Provider.
When liquidity is added to a decentralized exchange pool, the protocol issues LP tokens representing ownership of that liquidity position.
Whoever controls those LP tokens controls the ability to withdraw the underlying assets from the pool.
Why Projects Burn LP Tokens
Liquidity is often one of the first things traders evaluate when researching a token.
If a project retains ownership of LP tokens, liquidity may be removed at a later date.
Burning LP tokens permanently removes ownership of those liquidity positions.
- • Permanently lock liquidity
- • Create public proof on-chain
- • Increase transparency
- • Improve trader confidence
- • Reduce concerns about liquidity removal
What Happens After An LP Burn?
Once LP tokens are burned, they no longer exist.
Because ownership has been destroyed, the associated liquidity can no longer be redeemed through those LP tokens.
The burn transaction remains permanently visible on the blockchain and can be reviewed by anyone.
Full LP Burn vs Partial LP Burn
SolanaBurner allows both complete and partial LP token burns.
- • Enter a custom amount to burn part of your LP position
- • Use FULL to automatically select the entire LP balance
- • Review the amount before confirming
The amount burned determines how much liquidity ownership is permanently removed.
Supported LP Tokens
LP tokens are SPL tokens, meaning they can generally be handled using the same token burning process.
SolanaBurner supports LP tokens created across many popular Solana liquidity platforms.
- • Raydium LP tokens
- • Orca LP tokens
- • Meteora LP tokens
- • SPL-based liquidity tokens
- • Community liquidity pools
How To Burn LP Tokens
Burning LP tokens only requires a few steps.
- 1. Connect your wallet
- 2. Click Scan Wallet
- 3. Locate the LP token
- 4. Enter an amount or press FULL
- 5. Click Burn
- 6. Approve the transaction
After confirmation, the selected LP tokens are permanently removed from circulation.
Verifying Locked Liquidity
Every LP burn is recorded on-chain.
Transaction explorers can be used to review the burn and verify that LP tokens were permanently destroyed.
This provides transparent evidence that liquidity ownership was removed rather than simply transferred elsewhere.
Important Reminder
LP burns are permanent. Once confirmed on-chain, burned LP tokens cannot be recovered and the associated ownership is permanently destroyed.
Summary
LP token burning is widely used to permanently lock liquidity and create publicly verifiable proof of commitment.
SolanaBurner supports both full and partial LP burns, allowing users to manage liquidity ownership directly from their wallet through a simple interface.
