Burning an NFT permanently removes it from existence on-chain. The token is destroyed and the wallet that held it receives a small amount of SOL back (the storage deposit that was locked when the NFT was created).

When burning is used

  • Token consolidation — burning excess or duplicate NFTs from a collection
  • Deflationary mechanics — some projects burn NFTs as part of a game or upgrade mechanic (e.g. “burn 2 to mint 1 upgraded version”)
  • Supply reduction — intentionally reducing the total supply to increase scarcity
  • Cleanup — removing test or failed mints from a treasury wallet

​
How to burn

  1. Go to NFT Suite → Burn NFT
  2. Select the NFT(s) you want to burn from your connected wallet
  3. Review the list — confirm these are the correct tokens
  4. Click Burn
  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet
Burning is permanent and irreversible. A burned NFT cannot be recovered under any circumstances. Be absolutely certain before proceeding.

​
What happens after burning

  • The NFT is removed from all wallets and marketplaces
  • The holder count in your analytics updates on the next snapshot
  • The SOL storage deposit is returned to the wallet that initiated the burn
