**Burn Liquidity** is a powerful feature provided by Greenrock that enables users to **permanently destroy their LP (liquidity provider) tokens**. By doing this, the liquidity in the associated Raydium pool becomes **locked forever**, which is often used to enhance **trust and decentralization** in a token ecosystem.

***

#### 🧩 Purpose of Liquidity Burning

* **Irreversible LP Removal**: Burning removes LP tokens from circulation permanently.
* **Signal of Trust**: Proves that the developer can no longer withdraw liquidity (i.e., no "rug pull" risk).
* **Decentralization**: Ensures liquidity is permanently available to traders.

| Element                   | Description                                                                                     |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Token Address**         | The address of the SPL token (e.g., your project's token).                                      |
| **Quote Address**         | The base token paired with your token (typically SOL or USDC).                                  |
| **Liquidity Selector**    | Four quick options to select the portion of LP to burn: **25%**, **50%**, **75%**, or **100%**. |
| **Burn Liquidity Button** | Executes the transaction to burn the selected portion of LP tokens.                             |
| **Fee Notice**            | States that the burn action costs **0.1 SOL**, the lowest fee in the Solana ecosystem.          |

#### ✅ Example Scenario

Suppose you launched a new meme token called `$SHIBA2X` and created a liquidity pool with SOL. After generating some momentum, you want to **burn 100% of the LP tokens** to lock the liquidity and build investor confidence.

Here’s how you’d use this interface:

1. **Token Address**: `SHIBA2X123abc...xyz`
2. **Quote Address**: `So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112` (SOL)
3. Select **100%** to burn all your LP.
4. Click **Burn Liquidity**.
5. Approve the transaction in your wallet.

🎉 The liquidity is now permanently locked on Raydium. Traders can buy/sell freely, but nobody can pull liquidity out.

***

#### 🧠 Additional Notes

* **This is permanent** – make sure you don’t need that liquidity again.
* **Gas fee is 0.1 SOL**, clearly displayed.
* Burning small % (like 25%) can also be used in stages for marketing events or tokenomics control.
* Displayed liquidity options ensure **ease of use**, especially for non-technical users.

#### 🧾 Technical Implications

When you burn LP tokens, you're sending them to a **null address** (`0x00...dead`), which means those tokens can never be recovered. Since LP tokens represent your share of the pool, burning them removes your claim to any tokens in that pool forever.
