Burn Tokens

Permanently remove tokens from circulation.

Overview

Burning tokens reduces the total supply by permanently destroying them. The tokens are removed from your wallet and cannot be recovered.

Code

const ata = await getAssociatedTokenAddress(
  mint.publicKey,
  publicKey
);

const amount = BigInt(Number(inputAmount) * 10 ** decimals);

const ixBurn = createBurnInstruction(
  ata,            // token account
  mint.publicKey, // mint
  publicKey,      // owner
  amount          // amount to burn
);
