## Stuck Tokens FAQ

<details>

<summary>What are "stuck tokens"?</summary>

Stuck tokens are tokens that were **accidentally sent to Solana’s burn (dead) address**\
`1nc1nerator11111111111111111111111111111111` instead of being burned using a proper burn instruction.\
\
Because this address has **no private key**, tokens sent there cannot be transferred, recovered, or interacted with through normal wallet tools.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why didn’t my token burn when I sent it to the 1nc1nerator address?</summary>

Sending a token to the 1nc1nerator address **does not execute a burn instruction**.

On Solana, a true burn requires calling the SPL Token program’s burn method. Sending a token to the dead address only moves it to an inaccessible account—it does **not** reduce total supply or properly finalize the burn.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is this address owned by Sol-Incinerator?</summary>

`1nc1nerator11111111111111111111111111111111` is a **canonical Solana burn/dead address** used across the ecosystem. It is **not owned, controlled, or operated** by the Sol-Incinerator project or any other application.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What does the Stuck Tokens tool do?</summary>

The Stuck Tokens tool:

* Detects tokens that were mistakenly sent to the Solana burn address
* Properly burns the token using the correct on-chain burn instruction
* Provides verifiable confirmation via Solana Explorer

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I recover or sell a stuck token?</summary>

No.

Tokens sent to the burn address **cannot be recovered, transferred, or sold**. The only possible action is to **properly burn them**, which is what this tool enables.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is there a fee to burn stuck tokens?</summary>

**Yes.**

Burning a stuck token incurs a **fixed 0.5 SOL service fee**, independent of token type or value. This fee is shown before confirmation.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When should I use this tool?</summary>

Use the Stuck Tokens tool if:

* You manually sent a token to the 1nc1nerator address
* The token still appears on-chain but cannot be moved or closed
* You intended to burn the token and want to properly finalize it

</details>
