Why does this Burn Bot exist?

Yes. Technically Solana supports burning tokens. The issue is not the burn itself, but the lack of a unified, standardized way to track how burns change supply across tools, dashboards, and exchanges.

On Ethereum, many tokens follow standards (like ERC-20) that expose a clear totalSupply() and well-defined burn events. Most analytics tools and explorers can automatically react to these events and update the visible supply. On Solana there is no single, universal standard:

• Tokens live in token accounts, not inside one contract.
• Projects can burn in different ways (programs, PDAs, dead wallets, etc.).
• There is no global, chain-wide “token burned” event that all tools can rely on.

This means supply changes need to be interpreted and calculated instead of just read.

Without a dedicated solution:

• It is hard to verify how many tokens have actually been destroyed.
• Different dashboards may show different supply numbers.
• Manual calculations are error-prone and time-consuming.
• Trust suffers because anyone can claim “we burned X%” without a clear proof.

For fast-moving ecosystems like Pump.fun this is especially critical, because many projects have no resources to build their own infrastructure.

Relying only on screenshots or manual announcements creates a single point of failure: the team’s honesty and competence. A dedicated burn tracking service removes this dependency and lets everyone check the same, independently calculated numbers.

In simple terms, the bot continuously reads on-chain data for a given project, recognizes burn-related activity, and converts it into transparent metrics:

• Total supply and burned amount.
• Circulating supply after burns.
• Burn history (who burned what, and when).

These metrics can be presented both in Telegram commands and on a dedicated burn web page.

For many Solana and Pump.fun projects, Telegram is the primary communication channel. By integrating there:

• Mods and admins can query burn data with simple commands.
• Announcements can automatically include updated supply figures.
• The community gets real-time feedback without leaving the chat.

The web page acts as a public, visual “single source of truth”:

• Shows key project stats and current supply.
• Displays recent burn activity and progress.
• Can be shared in social posts, documentation, and listings.

Access to advanced analytics or detailed logs can optionally be restricted via a paywall.

Typical users are:

• Solana / Pump.fun project teams who want serious transparency.
• Communities that need an independent burn tracker.
• Analysts or investors who prefer verifiable on-chain numbers over screenshots.

The system can only be as accurate as the underlying project configuration (e.g. which wallets are burn targets, how tokens are distributed). Once that is defined correctly, the bot handles the repetitive work automatically.
