Solana burns, but burn is not SOL's supply story — mint is. Every day the network destroys about 800 SOL of base fees and mints an average 59,000 SOL for stakers; a ratio of 1.4%. It was different once: in January 2025, at the height of the memecoin frenzy, Solana burned 548,786 SOL in a month, 62,022 of them on 19 Jan — the very day SOL hit its $293 high. Then SIMD-96 routed all priority fees to validators and the burn column fell 98%. This ledger records both sides daily since Oct 2020, closes against total supply, and explains why 75% of all SOL ever burned sits in one 2020 transaction.
A snapshot at one moment — it has no 24-hour or 30-day meaning.
Tokens gone from the supply forever — sitting in a dead wallet or destroyed via burn() reducing total supply directly. Irreversible.
Total burned over max supply (all components: permanent burn, plus the buyback fund where the token has one). For tokens with overhang, read it against that cell: is burning winning or losing against the supply still ahead?
Large periodic burns — source noted below the table: measured directly on-chain (LIT, ASTER) or official published figures (BNB, whose quarterly auto-burn cuts total supply directly, bypassing any dead wallet).

Burn = 50% of base fees (through 11 Feb 2025 also 50% of priority fees): Dune on-chain through 11 Feb 2025, DefiLlama ÷ Binance price from 12 Feb 2025. Minted = staking + vote rewards at epoch boundaries (~every 2 days); days between epochs genuinely show zero. No revenue column.
At this pace one year burns 0,06% of max supply.
Locked tokens released into circulation — the sell-side force facing the burn. The next round says whether it is a published schedule or a projection from cadence.
Buybacks plus permanent burns over the last 30 full days — the same scale as one monthly unlock round.
30-day burn divided by the next unlock amount. Above 1 = removal outpaces release in token terms; below 1 = the unlock is larger.
Recorded unlock rounds over the last 12 months, all allocation groups combined (staking rewards excluded).

The burn series splices two sources: through Feb 11, 2025 measured on-chain from validator fee rewards (fees were split 50% burn / 50% validator); from Feb 12, 2025 (SIMD-96 mixed the fee flows) via DefiLlama — cross-checked against Solana Compass. Lifetime burn = fees (~4.0M) plus the Foundation burn of 11,365,067 SOL on May 25, 2020.
Every signature on Solana pays a 5,000-lamport base fee; half (2,500 lamports) is burned, the other half goes to the block-producing validator. The last thirty days burned an average 808 SOL a day (~$81,000), which implies about 320 million signatures a day — mostly validators' own vote transactions, which pay fees like any other (this ledger's estimate). In the other direction, staking rewards are paid at epoch boundaries, roughly every two days: boundary days mint 95,000–111,000 SOL, other days mint zero — the jagged Mint column is real, not missing data. The average is 59,465 SOL a day, 74 times the burn.
Lifetime: genesis 500M, minted 148.52M, burned 15.15M — total supply 633.36M, 27% above genesis. The burn is only 2.4% of supply; anyone holding SOL unstaked absorbs about 3.9% a year of dilution at 2026's mint pace. The "24-hour supply balance" card above is therefore almost always negative.
Before SIMD-96, the 50/50 rule applied to priority fees too — what users pay extra to jump the queue in a block. When memecoins pushed priority fees up, burn surged with them: November 2024 burned 445,191 SOL, January 2025 burned 548,786 SOL, and 19 Jan 2025 (the day the TRUMP token launched) burned 62,022 SOL ≈ $16M, the lifetime record — also the day SOL set its $293.31 high. All of 2024 burned 2.15M SOL, 55% of all fee burn since 2020.
SIMD-96 activated on 12 Feb 2025: 100% of priority fees to validators, only the base fee still split. Burn fell from 15,000–60,000 SOL a day to 250 a day in March 2025 (6,714 SOL for the month, −98.8% versus January), then crept back to 700–930 a day as signature counts grew. In dollars per DefiLlama, burned fees were $358M in 2024, $176M in 2025 (almost all in the first six weeks) and $15M in 2026 to date — while total fees stayed at $713M / $645M / $150M. The validators' share went from 50% to about 90%.
Cumulative fee burn since Oct 2020 amounts to 3.94M SOL. The much larger part sits in one transaction: on 25 May 2020, epoch 30, the Solana Foundation sent 11,365,067 SOL to the incinerator address 1nc1nerator… — tokens recovered from a loan to a market maker — destroying them permanently. That round equals 2.3% of genesis; it sits in the events table rather than the daily series, and it is why SOL's "burned" figure looks far larger than anything transaction fees have achieved.
Solana switched on issuance in February 2021 at 8% a year, decaying 15% annually toward a 1.5% floor. The ledger shows 23.95M minted in 2021, 28.80M in 2023 (the absolute peak, since a larger base outweighed the smaller rate), 26.86M in 2025 and 16.27M in the 245 days of 2026 — a 24.2M-a-year pace, 3.9% of total supply. In March 2025, SIMD-228 proposed replacing the fixed schedule with stake-based issuance — potentially halving the mint — but fell short of the two-thirds threshold; the old schedule still runs. A steeper cut than 15% a year needs a new vote.
Unlocks are done: every genesis bucket (seed, founding, validator sale, team, Foundation, community) cliffed on the same day, 7 Jan 2021, per DefiLlama, so the unlock card on this page has no next round. The 48M gap between the 633.4M total and 585.3M circulating supply is locked stake and treasuries, not vesting. Price: high $293.31 on 19 Jan 2025, low $0.50 on 11 May 2020 (CoinGecko).
Daily mint: Solana's on-chain rewards table (Dune, staking + voting branches), recorded on the epoch-boundary day. Daily burn splices two sources: through 11 Feb 2025, the fee branch of the same rewards table — exact on-chain, since fees were split 50/50; from 12 Feb 2025, once priority fees stopped burning, DefiLlama's directly measured burn divided by the Binance daily close, cross-checked against Solana Compass (~800–900 SOL a day). State closes arithmetically: 500M + 148.52M − 15.15M = 633.36M, matching getSupply and CoinGecko. The ledger does not infer burn from the supply change between snapshots — a 110,000 SOL mint at an epoch boundary would swamp an 800 SOL signal.
How much SOL has Solana burned?
15.15M SOL as of 3 Sep 2026 — 3.94M from transaction fees since Oct 2020 and 11,365,067 SOL burned by the Foundation on 25 May 2020. That is 2.4% of total supply.
How does SOL's burn compare with its mint?
Last thirty days: 808 SOL burned a day, 59,465 SOL minted — burn is 1.4% of mint. SOL net-inflates about 3.9% a year; stakers earn it back, unstaked holders are diluted.
Why did SOL burn drop sharply from February 2025?
SIMD-96 (12 Feb 2025) routed 100% of priority fees to validators; only the base fee is still half-burned. Burn went from 548,786 SOL in Jan 2025 to 6,714 SOL in Mar 2025, −98.8%.
Which day burned the most SOL?
19 Jan 2025: 62,022 SOL (~$16M), the day the TRUMP token launched and the day SOL set its $293.31 high. January 2025 was the record month at 548,786 SOL.
Why does SOL's mint column show zero on some days?
Staking rewards are paid only at epoch boundaries, roughly every two days (95,000–111,000 SOL each). On days without a boundary the network genuinely mints nothing — that is real data.
Will SOL inflation come down?
By schedule: from 8% in 2021, falling 15% a year toward a 1.5% floor; 2026's pace is about 3.9%. SIMD-228 (Mar 2025) proposed a steeper stake-based cut but missed the two-thirds threshold.
Does SOL still have unlocks?
All genesis buckets cliffed on 7 Jan 2021 (DefiLlama), so there is no next round. The 48M gap between total and circulating supply is locked stake and treasuries.
Where does the SOL data on this page come from?
Mint: on-chain rewards table via Dune. Burn: Dune through 11 Feb 2025, DefiLlama ÷ Binance price after, cross-checked with Solana Compass. Supply: getSupply, matching CoinGecko. Chain fees/revenue: DefiLlama. Price, ATH/ATL: CoinGecko.
