Burn tokens on Polygon
Burn tokens from your wallet on Polygon to reduce the supply. Review the amount carefully: burned tokens cannot be recovered.
Service fee: 0 POL
Token controls
Actions depend on this token’s current permissions. Removed authorities cannot be restored.
Project page & links
Publish a public project page or update its links. Approve edits with the project owner’s wallet message. This does not change on-chain metadata.
Contract source
Before you start
The token address, a spendable balance in your connected wallet and POL for network costs. The token must support the offered burn action.
How to use this tool
- Inspect the token and check your available balance.
- Enter the amount to destroy, respecting the token’s decimals.
- Verify the amount in the transaction review and approve the burn.
What changes
Burning permanently reduces your balance and the token supply. Sending tokens to an inaccessible address is a different action.
Burning 25 of your 100 tokens leaves 75 in your wallet and reduces supply by 25. It does not change the decimals.
Common problem
Why does the burn fail?
Frozen accounts, a paused token or contract restrictions can prevent burning. Check your available balance and the permissions shown after inspection.
Network and protocol costs are separate. Your transaction review shows the current amounts.
