How Mon Incinerator Works (Compared to Solana Token Burning)
Mon Incinerator is the first dedicated token burn tool built for the Monad blockchain. It allows users to burn any ERC-20 or LP token through a simple, decentralized, on-chain process. But how does it work under the hood? And how does Monad’s burn mechanism compare to Solana?
🔧 How Mon Incinerator Works
Token burning on Monad is made possible through a smart contract that performs one core function:
- burnTokens() — removes tokens from the circulating supply and records a permanent burn event
Since Monad uses the EVM-compatible ERC-20 standard, the burn process is extremely lightweight, requiring only an approval transaction followed by the burn execution.
🔥 How It Compares to Solana Token Burning
✔ Key Differences Between Monad and Solana
| Feature | Monad (Mon Incinerator) | Solana (SPL Burning) |
|---|---|---|
| Token System | ERC-20 standard — no separate token accounts | SPL token accounts requiring rent |
| Rent Refund | No rent model in ERC-20; no refund involved | Token account rent can be reclaimed when burned |
| Verification | Solidity events + MonadVision explorer | Instruction logs + SolScan |
| Txs Required | Approval + Burn | Single Burn Transaction |
✔ Similarities Between Both Chains
- Burns are permanent and cannot be reversed
- All burns can be publicly verified on-chain
🧪 Why Developers Use Mon Incinerator
- Proof-of-burn events for transparency
- LP-token burning to permanently lock liquidity
- Supply reduction mechanisms
- Community trust-building for projects
