When do I need my wallet for the burn?
On Solana, every real burn is a signed transaction. The question is which wallet signs it.
Short answer
- User burn: tokens in your wallet -> you must connect and sign.
- Project/treasury burn: tokens in project wallet -> project signs, you do not.
- Simulation: no on-chain burn -> no wallet needed.
Burn modes and wallet requirement
| Mode | Wallet required? | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| User burn | Yes | Your wallet signs the burn |
| Project/treasury burn | No | Project wallet signs the burn |
| Simulation only | No | No on-chain transaction |
How this maps to the form
- User burn: wallet field is required.
- Project/treasury burn: wallet field is optional or hidden.
- Simulation: wallet field not needed.
If you are unsure: if the tokens are in your personal wallet, choose User burn. If they are in a project wallet, choose Project/treasury burn.
