How to Burn Tokens on HyperEVM (2025 Guide)

Burning tokens on HyperEVM is a permanent, on-chain action that removes tokens from circulation forever. Whether you're a project developer, liquidity provider, or someone holding unwanted tokens, burning ensures they can never be accessed or traded again.

This guide walks you through the exact steps to burn tokens using Hype Incinerator, the first dedicated token burner for the HyperEVM chain. The entire process is decentralized, fast, and fully executed through your wallet — no coding or technical knowledge needed.

🔥 What Is Token Burning?

Token burning on HyperEVM works by sending a burn instruction that permanently removes the selected tokens from the blockchain supply. Burning is commonly used for:

  • Developers reducing token supply for tokenomics
  • Burning liquidity pool (LP) tokens
  • Removing unwanted or spam tokens
  • Community-driven proof-of-burn events

Because all burns are irreversible, always double-check the token address and amount before confirming the transaction.

⚙️ What You Need Before Burning

  • MetaMask or any HyperEVM-compatible wallet
  • HyperEVM added to MetaMask (Chain ID: 999)
  • A small amount of HYPE for the network fee
  • The tokens you want to burn

Hype Incinerator works on both desktop and mobile MetaMask.

🚀 Step-by-Step: How to Burn Tokens Using Hype Incinerator

1. Connect Your Wallet (MetaMask Recommended)

In the top-right corner of the Hype Incinerator, click Connect. Make sure MetaMask is on the HyperEVM chain. You will see Chain: 999 displayed under your wallet address once connected.

2. Auto-Detect Your Tokens

Click the Auto-Detect Tokens button. The tool will scan your wallet and load all tokens associated with your address.

If you hold many tokens or LP tokens, it may take several seconds for all balances to appear.

3. Enter the Amount You Want to Burn

Under the specific token you wish to burn, enter the exact amount.

If you want to burn your entire balance, you can click MAX.

4. Approve the Transactions

When you click Burn, two MetaMask transactions will appear:

  • Approval Request — allows the burn contract to spend the selected token amount.
  • Burn Transaction — executes the final burn on-chain.

Once both are approved, your tokens are permanently removed.

🔍 How to Verify the Burn on HyperEVMScan

After burning, you can verify your transaction on the official block explorer: HyperEVMScan.

  • Go to HyperEVMScan (link in the menu)
  • Enter your wallet address
  • Your most recent transaction will be the burn
  • The explorer will show the token, amount burned, and full transaction hash

This proof-of-burn transaction can be shared publicly for transparency.
