How to Burn LP Tokens on Solana — Lock Liquidity Guide (2026)

To burn LP tokens on Solana, connect your wallet on SolTokenCreator.io/burn-lp-tokens, select your LP position, and click Burn. Your LP tokens are permanently destroyed, locking the underlying liquidity in the Raydium pool forever. With our exclusive Burn & Earn feature, you continue earning trading fees from the locked position even after burning.

What Are LP Tokens?

LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens are receipts you receive when you deposit tokens into a liquidity pool. They represent your share of the pool and can be used to:

• Redeem your liquidity — Withdraw your deposited tokens + SOL
• Prove ownership — Show your share of the pool
• Burn to lock — Permanently lock your liquidity by destroying the LP tokens

When you create a Raydium liquidity pool and deposit tokens + SOL, you receive LP tokens proportional to your deposit. These LP tokens are the key to controlling your liquidity.

Why Burn LP Tokens?

Burning LP tokens is the strongest trust signal in the Solana token ecosystem. Here is why it matters:

1. Prevents Rug Pulls

If LP tokens exist, the holder can remove all liquidity from the pool at any time — draining the SOL and leaving holders with worthless tokens. Burning LP tokens makes this impossible.

2. DexScreener Trust Badge

DexScreener displays LP burn status prominently. Tokens with burned LP show a trust badge that experienced traders check before buying. Learn more about DexScreener.

3. RugCheck Score

RugCheck.xyz gives a significantly higher safety score to tokens with burned LP. Many traders will not buy tokens that fail RugCheck's liquidity checks.

4. Community Confidence

Burning LP is a public commitment. It tells your community: "The liquidity is here to stay. I cannot and will not remove it."

Step-by-Step: Burn LP Tokens

Step 1: Navigate to Burn Tool

Go to SolTokenCreator.io/burn-lp-tokens and connect the wallet that holds your LP tokens.

Step 2: Select Your LP Position

The tool displays all LP positions in your wallet. Select the position you want to burn. You will see:

• Pool details (token pair, pool type)
• LP token balance
• Estimated value of underlying tokens
• Current pool ratio

Step 3: Choose Burn Amount

You can burn all or part of your LP tokens:

• Full burn — Lock 100% of your liquidity permanently
• Partial burn — Lock a portion while keeping some LP tokens for later withdrawal

For maximum trust, burning 100% is recommended. Partial burns still show as "partially burned" on DexScreener, which is better than no burn but not as strong as full burn.

Step 4: Approve Transaction

Click Burn and approve the transaction in your wallet. The transaction:

1. Sends your LP tokens to a burn address (destroyed forever)
2. The underlying liquidity remains in the pool
3. The pool continues functioning normally
4. Trading fees continue accumulating

Step 5: Verify the Burn

After burning, verify on:

• DexScreener — Check your token's page for the LP burn badge
• Solana Explorer — Verify the burn transaction
• RugCheck — Re-check your token's safety score

Burn & Earn: Earn Fees From Burned LP

SolTokenCreator.io's exclusive Burn & Earn feature lets you burn LP tokens while continuing to earn trading fees from the locked position.

How Burn & Earn Works

Normally, burning LP tokens means losing access to trading fee revenue. With Burn & Earn:

1. Your LP tokens are burned (liquidity is permanently locked)
2. A fee-earning position is created for your wallet
3. Trading fees from the locked liquidity continue accruing to your position
4. You can harvest accumulated fees at any time

Harvesting Fees

After burning with Burn & Earn:

1. Visit SolTokenCreator.io/burn-lp-tokens
2. Connect your wallet
3. View your burned positions and accumulated fees
4. Click Harvest to collect fees to your wallet

Fees continue accumulating as long as the pool has trading activity. The more volume, the more fees you earn.

Burn & Earn vs Standard Burn

| Feature | Standard LP Burn | Burn & Earn | |---------|-----------------|-------------| | Liquidity locked | Yes (permanent) | Yes (permanent) | | LP tokens destroyed | Yes | Yes | | Earns trading fees | No | Yes | | Fee harvesting | N/A | Any time | | DexScreener badge | Yes | Yes | | RugCheck score | Improved | Improved | | Available on | Most platforms | SolTokenCreator.io only |

CPMM vs AMM V4: Burning LP Tokens

Both Raydium pool types support LP burning, but there are differences:

CPMM Pools

• LP tokens are standard SPL tokens
• Burning is straightforward
• Burn & Earn fully supported
• Most common pool type for new tokens

AMM V4 Pools

• LP tokens work with OpenBook integration
• Burning process is similar
• Burn & Earn supported
• May have different fee structures

How Much Liquidity Should You Burn?

| Burn Percentage | Trust Level | Recommendation | |----------------|-------------|----------------| | 100% | Highest trust | Recommended for meme coins and community tokens | | 90-99% | Very high trust | Good if you want to keep a small reserve | | 50-89% | Moderate trust | Shows commitment but leaves options open | | Under 50% | Low trust | May not satisfy experienced traders | | 0% (no burn) | Lowest trust | Red flag for most communities |

Our recommendation: Burn 100% of LP tokens for maximum trust. Use Burn & Earn to continue earning trading fees even after full burn.

Common Questions

Can I undo an LP token burn? No. Burning LP tokens is permanent and irreversible. The liquidity is locked in the pool forever. This is the entire point — irreversibility is what creates trust.

Does burning LP tokens affect the pool? No. The pool continues functioning normally. Traders can still buy and sell. Liquidity remains in the pool. The only change is that the burned LP can never be redeemed.

How long after pool creation should I burn? As soon as possible. The longer LP tokens remain unburned, the more time traders have to worry about a rug pull. Many successful launches burn LP within the same transaction or immediately after pool creation.

Does burning cost anything? Only the Solana network transaction fee (under $0.01). There is no platform fee for LP burning on SolTokenCreator.io.

What if I only burned part of my LP? You can burn more LP tokens at any time. Each additional burn is a separate transaction. DexScreener shows the total percentage of LP that has been burned.
