SolTokenBurnerSol Incinerator is a well-known tool in the Solana ecosystem, but its limitations - especially forcing full-balance burns and automatically closing token accounts - make it unsuitable for many users. Projects, developers, LP managers, and everyday holders often need a more flexible, controlled, and wallet-safe solution.
This page explains why SolTokenBurner has become the trusted alternative to Sol Incinerator, and how both tools differ in features, safety, and user flexibility.
Sol Incinerator was originally introduced as an app on Solana for burning SPL tokens. Its primary function is to burn the entire token balance and close the associated token accounts, returning the rent to the user while charging a service fee. However, this process executes multiple operations within a single program.
Note that the burn function is not called on-chain directly (like on SolTokenBurner), but using their own custom program deployed on Solana. The program used by Sol Incinerator is and is not verified, meaning the on-chain code could contain arbitrary logic. When checking the Verification tab for the program used by Sol Incinerator on Solscan, it displays “On-chain program not verified”, indicating that the source code has not been audited or publicly verified.
It also lacks customization and is not ideal for more advanced token management actions - especially LP token burns or partial supply burns.
SolTokenBurner was created and it solves the limitations of Sol Incinerator and has been used across the ecosystem for years. SolTokenBurner has a much cleaner and user-friendly interface. The dApp allows wallet owners to burn SPL or LP tokens instantly with full control over the exact amount burned. Only one function burn() is executed.
| Feature | SolTokenBurner | Sol-Incinerator |
|---|---|---|
| Partial Token Burns | Yes | No (full only) |
| User Interface | Simple & Easy | Complex |
| LP Token Support | Supported | Limited |
| Token Account Closure | Optional | Required |
| Safety | SPL Token Program | Custom on-chain program |
| Execution | solana/spl-token library | Proprietary |
| Tools | Token Management | None |
Yes. All burns are executed directly through your connected wallet - Phantom, Backpack, Solflare, or others. No server handling and no third-party custody. Each burn is sent as a signed instruction from your wallet to the Solana blockchain, making it fully decentralized.
Sol Incinerator remains a simple tool for basic full-balance burns and account closure, but most users today require finer control - especially developers, LP managers, and community leaders performing public proof-of-burn transactions. SolTokenBurner provides that flexibility while maintaining complete on-chain transparency and wallet-level safety.
