Question 1

Can burned Solana tokens be recovered?

Accepted Answer

No — not by us, not by the token creator, not by anyone. The burn instruction destroys the tokens at the program level and reduces total supply on-chain. Anyone claiming they can restore burned tokens is running a scam.

Question 2

Does burning tokens increase the price?

Accepted Answer

Burning reduces supply, verifiably. Price is set by the market, and a burn is not a guarantee it moves — what it does give holders is proof the supply shrank and can never be quietly re-minted, provided mint authority is also revoked.

Question 3

Is this a SOL incinerator?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this bench is the forge's incinerator. It burns any SPL or Token-2022 token at the program level, including scam airdrops and dust you never asked for. Once a token account is empty, run The Sweep to close it and get its ~0.002 SOL rent back.

Question 4

Is burning better than sending tokens to a dead address?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A proper burn reduces the recorded total supply, which explorers and buyers can read directly. Tokens parked at a so-called burn address still count toward supply and still sit in an account someone chose to call dead.

Question 5

Can I burn LP tokens here?

Accepted Answer

You can, but LP burns deserve their own bench: the Crucible handles them, strikes the liquidity-burned hallmark on your certificate, and scores double on the Register.
