burn

The burn command signs and submits deletion transactions for one or more .sns domain registry accounts.

Usage​

sns [--url <URL>] burn <KEYPAIR_PATH> <DOMAIN>...

Arguments​

<KEYPAIR_PATH>​

Required. Path to the current owner's Solana keypair JSON file. The keypair signs each deletion transaction.

<DOMAIN>...​

Required. One or more canonical lowercase .sns domains owned by the signing wallet, processed in the order provided.

Options​

-u, --url <URL>​

Use this RPC endpoint instead of RPC_URL or the default public mainnet-beta endpoint at https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com.

Output​

After processing the requested domains, the command prints a table with these columns:

ColumnDescription
DomainThe deleted domain.
TransactionThe confirmed deletion transaction signature.
ExplorerA mainnet Solana Explorer link for the transaction.

Cautions​

Burning deletes the name-registry account. The command has no confirmation prompt or dry-run mode.

Deletions are submitted sequentially and are not atomic. An earlier deletion can succeed before a later one fails.
