cNFTs FAQ

Why do I not get SOL from burning cNFTs?

cNFTs, or compressed NFTs, store their data off-chain. This significantly reduces the space needed to hold them on the Solana network. Because of this structure, they do not use rent-bearing accounts — which is where SOL is typically reclaimed from. As a result, burning cNFTs does not return any SOL.
