Token launch
Burn Raydium LP tokens and lock your pool's liquidity
Paste your pool's LP mint, see what share of the LP supply your wallet holds, and burn it. Burned LP tokens can never be redeemed, so the liquidity stays in the pool permanently.
How it works
- 1
Connect the wallet that holds the LP tokens
This is normally the wallet that created the pool. Raydium sent the LP tokens to it when the initial liquidity was deposited.
- 2
Paste the LP mint address
The list filters to that mint. The LP mint is shown on the pool's page on Raydium and on explorers; it is not the pool address and not your token's mint.
- 3
Check your share of the LP supply
The summary shows the percentage of the LP supply you hold, the percentage you are about to burn and the supply that remains. Press Max to burn everything.
- 4
Confirm and sign
Tick the box acknowledging the liquidity can never be withdrawn, approve one transaction, and keep the explorer link as public proof of the burn.
What burning LP tokens does to a Raydium pool
When you add liquidity to a Raydium standard pool, either the older AMM v4 or the newer CPMM program, the pool mints fungible LP tokens to your wallet. They are an ordinary SPL token, and they are the only claim on the pool's reserves: to withdraw, you hand LP tokens back and the pool pays out your proportional share of both assets.
Burning those LP tokens destroys the claim while the reserves stay where they are. The pool keeps trading exactly as before, but the share of the reserves your tokens represented can no longer be withdrawn by anyone: not you, not Raydium, not a future owner of your wallet. If you burn 100% of the LP supply you hold as the pool creator, the initial liquidity is locked for the life of the pool. Trading fees that accrue inside a standard pool are part of the reserves, so they are locked along with it.
LP burns are irreversible: what you give up
There is no unlock date, no admin key and no recovery process. The SOL or USDC you paired with your token is gone from your control the moment the burn confirms, and its value will only ever be realised by traders swapping against the pool. Treat the paired assets as spent before you sign, and never burn LP tokens for a pool whose funds you may need later.
A partial burn is possible and sometimes sensible: burn the share you are committing to the market and keep the rest withdrawable. The summary shows the percentage of the total LP supply you are burning, which is the figure buyers will look at. Remember that other liquidity providers hold LP tokens too. Burning yours says nothing about theirs, and on a pool with several providers your burn only locks your own portion.
Concentrated liquidity positions can't be burned this way
This applies only to pools that issue fungible LP tokens. Concentrated-liquidity protocols work differently: a Raydium CLMM position and an Orca Whirlpool position are each represented by an NFT, and a Meteora DLMM position is a program account tied to your wallet. There is no fungible LP mint and no LP supply to reduce, so a burn percentage cannot even be calculated for them.
Destroying a position NFT does not lock liquidity in a way buyers can rely on, and it can simply strand the funds along with the fees they earn. For those pools, use the protocol's own lock feature where one exists; Raydium, for example, offers a lock for CLMM and CPMM positions that keeps fee claims available. This tool hides NFTs from the list for that reason and shows only fungible balances.
How buyers verify that liquidity is burned
Anyone can check a burn without trusting the team. Open the LP mint on an explorer such as Solscan and look at two things. First, the burn transaction itself: it shows a Burn or BurnChecked instruction on the LP mint, signed by the creator's wallet, with the amount. Second, the current supply and holders of the LP mint: after a full burn the supply is at or near zero and the creator's wallet no longer appears among the holders.
Screeners that report a percentage of LP burned compare the LP supply in circulation with the amount originally minted for the pool's reserves. Tokens sent to a dead address instead of burned leave the supply unchanged and have to be interpreted; a real burn needs no interpretation, which is why it is the convention on Solana. Share the transaction link this tool gives you after the burn confirms.
Burn vs. lock: which should you use?
A lock places LP tokens in a contract that refuses to release them until a date you choose, or forever. Its advantages are flexibility and, with some lockers, the ability to keep collecting fees. Its drawback is trust: buyers have to understand the locker program, check the unlock date, and accept the risk of that contract. A time-limited lock also just postpones the question of what the team does when it expires.
A burn is the simpler signal. It depends on nothing but the SPL token program, it has no expiry, and it can be verified in seconds. The price is that it is absolute: you can never migrate the liquidity to a better pool or recover it if the project winds down. For a small launch where credibility matters most, burning is the norm. For a project that expects to manage its liquidity over time, a lock is the more honest choice.
Questions & answers
What happens when you burn LP tokens on Solana?
The LP tokens are destroyed and the LP mint's supply drops, but the assets in the pool stay there. Since LP tokens are the only way to withdraw from a Raydium AMM v4 or CPMM pool, the share of the reserves they represented becomes permanently locked. The pool keeps working and the token stays tradable; nobody can pull that liquidity out.
Can I get my liquidity back after burning LP tokens?
No. Once the burn confirms there is no claim left to redeem, and no program, team or support desk can recreate it. The SOL or stablecoins you deposited remain in the pool for traders to swap against. If you might need any of it back, burn only part of your LP tokens or use a time lock instead.
How do I find my Raydium LP mint address?
Open the pool on Raydium's liquidity or portfolio page and view its details; the LP mint is listed next to the pool ID. You can also open your wallet on an explorer and look for the token Raydium sent you when you created the pool. Paste the LP mint here, not the pool ID and not your own token's mint.
How much does it cost to burn LP tokens?
A flat 0.005 SOL per burn transaction plus the usual network fee of about 0.000005 SOL. The size of the pool and the amount of LP tokens don't change the price. The fee is a separate SOL transfer inside the transaction you sign; nothing is deducted from the pool or from your LP tokens.
Is it safe to burn LP tokens with this tool?
The tool is non-custodial: it runs in your browser, builds a single BurnChecked instruction for the LP token you selected and sends it to your wallet for approval. It never holds your tokens, asks for no approvals or seed phrase, and can't act without your signature. The real risk is the burn itself, which is permanent, so check the mint and the amount.
Can I burn Raydium CLMM, Orca or Meteora liquidity?
Not with an LP burn. Raydium CLMM and Orca Whirlpool positions are NFTs, and Meteora DLMM positions are program accounts, so there are no fungible LP tokens to destroy. Burning a position NFT can strand your funds without giving buyers a verifiable lock. Use the lock feature of the protocol for those pool types.
Should I burn 100% of my LP tokens?
Burning everything gives the strongest signal, because buyers usually look for a figure close to 100% of the LP supply burned. It also means all of the paired SOL or USDC is gone for good. Some teams burn most and keep a small part to retain flexibility. The panel shows the exact percentage of supply you hold and would burn, so you can decide with the real numbers.
Does burning LP tokens make a token safe to buy?
It removes one risk: the creator withdrawing the pool's liquidity. It does nothing about others. If the mint authority is still active the team can print new tokens and sell them into the locked pool, and a freeze authority can block holders from selling. A careful buyer checks that LP is burned and that both authorities are revoked.
Is there a fee?
Burning LP tokens costs a flat 0.005 SOL per burn transaction, paid inside the same transaction, no matter how much liquidity the tokens represent.
