​
What

​
Description

This table tracks all NFT burning events on Solana, capturing when NFTs are permanently destroyed or removed from circulation. It provides detailed information about burn operations including the burning authority, amount burned, and technical transaction details. Burning is a critical mechanism for NFT supply management and can occur for various reasons including marketplace delisting, collection management, or user-initiated destruction, supporting comprehensive NFT lifecycle analysis.

​
Key Use Cases

  • Track NFT burning patterns and their impact on collection supply
  • Monitor burning activities related to marketplace delisting and cleanup operations
  • Analyze which addresses have authority to burn NFTs and their usage patterns
  • Study how creators and collection managers use burning for supply control
  • Complete the lifecycle view from minting to burning for comprehensive NFT analytics

​
Important Relationships

  • Links to nft.dim_nft_metadata via mint address to provide metadata context
  • Connects to nft.fact_nft_mints through mint address to track complete NFT lifecycle
  • References nft.ez_nft_sales to understand trading activity before burning
  • References core.fact_blocks and core.fact_transactions for blockchain context
  • index and inner_index provide ordering within transaction instructions

​
Commonly-used Fields

  • block_timestamp: Timestamp when the burn action was processed on Solana
  • tx_id: Unique transaction identifier for the burn action
  • mint: The unique mint address of the NFT being burned
  • burn_authority: Address of the account with authority to perform the burn action
  • burn_amount: Amount of tokens burned in the action (typically 1 for NFTs)
  • event_type: Type of burn action (e.g., ‘burn’, ‘close_account’)
  • mint_standard_type: NFT standard being used (e.g., ‘metaplex’, ‘candy_machine’)

Columns

Column NameData TypeDescription
BLOCK_IDNUMBERA unique identifier for the block in which this transaction was included on the Solana blockchain. Typically a sequential integer or hash, depending on the data source. Used to group transactions by block and analyze block-level activity. Example: 123456789 Business Context: Supports block-level analytics, such as block production rate and transaction throughput. Useful for tracing transaction inclusion and block explorer integrations. Relationships: All transactions with the same ‘blockid’ s…
BLOCK_TIMESTAMPTIMESTAMP_NTZThe timestamp (UTC) at which the block was produced on the Solana blockchain. This field is recorded as a TIMESTAMP data type and represents the precise moment the block was finalized and added to the chain. It is essential for time-series analysis, block production monitoring, and aligning transaction and event data to specific points in time. Used extensively for analytics involving block intervals, network activity trends, and historical lookups. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS (UTC).
TX_IDTEXTThe unique transaction signature (hash) for each transaction on the Solana blockchain. This field is a base58-encoded string, typically 88 characters in length, and serves as the primary identifier for transactions across all Solana data models. Used to join transaction data with related tables (blocks, events, transfers, logs, decoded instructions) and to trace the full lifecycle and effects of a transaction. Essential for transaction-level analytics, debugging, and cross-referencing with bl…
SUCCEEDEDBOOLEANBoolean flag indicating whether the transaction was successfully executed and confirmed on the Solana blockchain. A value of TRUE means the transaction was processed without errors; FALSE indicates failure due to program errors, insufficient funds, or other issues. Example: true false Business Context: Used to filter for successful transactions in analytics and reporting. Important for error analysis, user experience, and program debugging.
INDEXNUMBERThe position of the event (instruction) within the list of instructions for a given Solana transaction. Used to order and reference events within a transaction. Indexing starts at 0 for the first event. Example: 0 3 Business Context: Enables precise identification and ordering of events within a transaction, which is critical for reconstructing transaction flows and analyzing protocol behavior. Used to join or filter event-level data, especially when multiple events occur in a single transact…
INNER_INDEXNUMBERThe position of the inner instruction or event within the list of inner instructions for a given Solana transaction. Used to order and reference nested (CPI) instructions. Indexing starts at 0 for the first inner instruction. Example: 0 2 Business Context: Enables precise identification and ordering of nested program calls (Cross-Program Invocations) within a transaction. Critical for analyzing composability, protocol integrations, and the full execution path of complex transactions.
EVENT_TYPETEXTA string categorizing the type of event or instruction, such as ‘transfer’, ‘mint’, ‘burn’, or protocol-specific actions. Example: ‘transfer’ ‘mint’ ‘burn’ Business Context: Enables segmentation and filtering of on-chain activity for analytics and dashboards. Used to group and analyze protocol-specific actions and user behaviors. Relationships: May be derived from decoded instruction data or protocol-specific logic.
MINTTEXTUnique address representing a specific token
BURN_AMOUNTNUMBERThe amount of tokens being burned in the transaction, denominated in the token’s smallest unit (e.g., lamports for SOL, or the base unit for SPL tokens). This field enables token supply analysis and burn tracking. Data type: NUMBER (integer, token’s smallest unit) Business context: Used to track token burns, analyze token supply changes, and measure deflationary pressure. Analytics use cases: Token supply analysis, burn rate tracking, and deflationary token studies. Example: For SOL, 1 SOL =…
BURN_AUTHORITYTEXTThe account address that has authority to confirm the burn event. This field identifies the entity responsible for authorizing the token burn. Data type: STRING (base58 Solana address) Business context: Used to track burn authorities, analyze burn patterns, and identify centralized burn controls. Analytics use cases: Burn authority analysis, centralized vs decentralized burn studies, and token governance tracking. Example: ‘4Nd1mYw4r…’
SIGNERSTEXTList of accounts that signed the transaction. This field captures all wallet addresses that provided signatures for the transaction, enabling multi-signature analysis and transaction authority tracking. Data type: ARRAY (list of Solana addresses) Business context: Used to track transaction signers, analyze multi-signature patterns, and identify transaction authorities. Analytics use cases: Multi-signature analysis, transaction authority tracking, and signer pattern studies. Example:…
DECIMALNUMBERNumber of decimals in the token value, need to divide amount by 10^decimal
MINT_STANDARD_TYPETEXTThe type of mint following Metaplex mint standards
FACT_NFT_BURN_ACTIONS_IDTEXTA unique, stable identifier for each record in this table. The primary key (PK) ensures that every row is uniquely identifiable and supports efficient joins, lookups, and data integrity across models. The PK may be a natural key (such as a blockchain transaction hash) or a surrogate key generated from one or more fields, depending on the table’s structure and requirements.
INSERTED_TIMESTAMPTIMESTAMP_NTZThe timestamp when this transaction record was first inserted into the analytics database. Used for data freshness tracking and incremental model logic. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS. Not derived from the blockchain, but from the ETL process.
MODIFIED_TIMESTAMPTIMESTAMP_NTZThe timestamp when this transaction record was last updated in the analytics database. Used for tracking updates and supporting incremental model logic. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS. Not derived from the blockchain, but from the ETL process.
