1.5.3
Burning an asset cannot be undone, and until now the warning in front of it looked much like the warning in front of closing an empty account, which destroys nothing at all. Sol Incinerator now asks for as much as the action costs: a typed confirmation before anything is destroyed, a list naming every asset by name and mint address, and a plain account of what comes back and what is taken out of it. Closing empty accounts stays a single click, because there is nothing there to lose.

Highlights
- 01
Confirmation that matches the consequence
Burning now requires typing the word BURN, so no run of reflex clicks can reach it. Sweeping dust asks you to confirm you have reviewed the list. Closing empty accounts asks for nothing extra, since an empty account holds no tokens, so closing one destroys nothing and only returns its deposit. The friction is now proportional to what is actually at stake rather than applied evenly across all four.
- 02
See exactly what is about to be destroyed
Before a burn, every selected asset is listed by name, balance and mint address, and anything that is an NFT or still holds a real balance is flagged as such. Names and logos come from elsewhere and can be faked to imitate something valuable, so the mint address, the one identifier that cannot be faked, is shown beside each row.
- 03
What you get back, itemised
The SOL returned by a burn is the deposit that was holding the token account open, and it arrives minus a fee. That is now shown as three lines rather than a single figure: deposit recovered, fee deducted, and the amount you receive, with network fees noted as being paid separately from your balance.
Everything in this release
New6
- Burning requires typing a confirmation word before the button will activate, on every burn including a single asset. Destroying an asset is permanent, and a button that can be reached by reflex is not a safeguard.
- A review step lists every asset a burn or sweep will destroy, with name, balance and mint address, and NFTs and tokens still holding a real balance marked out from dust.
- Sweeping dust asks for an explicit acknowledgement that the list has been reviewed. A small balance is not always a worthless one, and "dust" is a judgement made from balance size alone.
- Reclaimed SOL is itemised as deposit recovered, fee deducted and amount received, on every tab that reclaims anything, rather than a net figure with the fee mentioned in passing.
- Before a burn begins, Sol Incinerator states how many times your wallet will ask for approval, one prompt per asset, and that rejecting a later prompt leaves everything already confirmed permanently destroyed.
- Sol Incinerator states plainly that it does not price your assets. Nothing on screen can tell you whether what you are about to destroy is worth more than the deposit it returns.
Improved5
- The action button is pinned to the bottom of the window instead of sitting beneath the asset list, so a wallet holding hundreds of accounts no longer requires scrolling past every warning to reach it.
- Selecting an NFT or a token with a real balance is called out where the selection is made and again inside the confirmation, counted rather than merely implied by the badge on each row.
- Each tab now opens with what its action does and does not destroy, and Cleanup distinguishes a pass that only closes empty accounts from one that includes an irreversible step.
- A confirmation can be dismissed with Escape or by tapping outside it, so there are two ways out that are not the destructive button.
- Reading a wallet's accounts shows placeholder rows rather than a lone spinner, so the shape of the list is visible while it loads.
Fixed1
- An installed copy could load a new version while still serving parts of the previous one. Updating now replaces the old version as intended.
