Burn Wall

How it works#

1. 1

   A holder writes a short message, up to 140 characters, and picks how many tokens to burn.

2. 2

   Our server builds one transaction: a checked burn from the holder's own token account, a memo carrying a hash of the message, and our 0.001 SOL fee. The holder signs it.

3. 3

   Once it confirms, the holder's browser reports the transaction and our server checks it on chain before the post appears. The biggest burns rank first, and the wall also lists the top burners.

How the wall works#

• Posts rank by the number of tokens burned, biggest first.
• Every post links to its transaction, so anyone can check the amount burned on chain.
• The message text is stored by us and checked before it shows. A hidden message stays burned.
• There are no prizes, no rewards and no promise about price.

What it costs#

0.001 SOL per post. It is paid inside the same transaction as the burn. We never take any of the burned tokens.

Good to know#

• Burning is permanent. The tokens are destroyed and nobody can bring them back, including us. The page asks for a clear confirmation first.
• Burning tokens does not raise the price, and nothing here says it will. There are no prizes and no rewards for burning.
• Only a hash goes on chain. We store the message text so we can moderate it, and we can hide a message from the wall. We cannot change anything on chain.
• Messages are checked as you type and again on our server. Links, emoji, @handles, wallet addresses and anything that looks like a scam are refused.
• The wall lists only posts the chain has proven: the burn, the memo and the fee. Its totals count burns made through this wall, not every burn of the token.
• If the page closes before the check finishes, the post appears the next time the holder opens the wall in the same browser.
• A holder can burn without our wall. That burn simply has no message here.

Under the hood#

• The burn is the token program's checked burn, which lowers the mint's supply. It works for SPL and Token-2022 tokens.
• A Memo program instruction holds the post id and the message hash, so anyone can check a post against its transaction.
• Our fee is a plain System Program transfer of 0.001 SOL to our treasury.
• The holder's wallet is the only signer.
