# How to Burn Tokens

## Do you have tokens you no longer want? 

{% hint style="info" %}
**TL;DR**

To burn tokens, simply connect your Solana wallet to the Sol Incinerator, scan for burnable assets, and select the tokens you wish to burn. As a result of the burn, you might be able to receive some SOL back in your wallet. 

**Be careful—this process is irreversible once confirmed!**
{% endhint %}

### Preparing to Burn Tokens

Before burning tokens from your BONKbot wallet, follow these steps:

1. [**Export Your Wallet’s Seed Phrase**](broken://pages/dDyNr93ZSvCIsYFI0Me1) – Export the Seed Phrase from your BONKBot.
2. **Import Your Wallet into a Browser Extension** – Use a Solana-compatible wallet like Phantom or Solflare.
3. **Go to Sol Incinerator & Connect Your Wallet** – Visit the platform and get started.

### What is Sol Incinerator?

For those unfamiliar, **Sol Incinerator** was launched in 2021 by the team behind **Sol Slugs**, a deflationary NFT collection with a built-in token-burning mechanism. It is a **Solana-based decentralized application (dApp)** that allows users to burn unwanted tokens, NFTs, and even **Solana domain names (SNS)** to free up space in their wallet and potentially recover SOL.

* You will get a summary of the token you wish to burn. Once you’re certain, click confirm and approve the transaction.&#x20;
* **Be careful—this process is irreversible once confirmed. If you burn coins with real value you will never get it back!**

### Step 6: Receive SOL in Your Wallet

### Burnt All Your Unwanted Tokens?

Burning tokens is a great way to **clean up your wallet, reclaim some SOL,** and improve the overall health of the **Solana ecosystem**. Just **double-check before burning** to avoid mistakes.

Happy burning! 🔥
