Key takeaways
- Trojan's FAQ says buying a token costs a one-time network fee of about 0.002 SOL to set up a token account, and that this fee is refundable after you sell.
- Trojan's wallet management guide exports a private key from the settings icon on a wallet's row, with a Copy Key button, and allows up to 10 active wallets.
- BONKbot requires 2FA for seed phrase exports, and its burn guide tells users to export the seed phrase and import it into Phantom or Solflare.
- Each empty Solana token account returns 0.00148844 SOL, or 0.00203928 SOL if it was opened before Solana lowered rent in 2026, when it is closed by its owner.
- As of November 2026, neither Trojan's nor BONKbot's official docs describe a built-in feature for closing empty token accounts.
The short answer
Both Telegram bots let you take your wallet with you, which makes the rent recoverable. Trojan exports a private key from the wallet's settings; BONKbot exports a seed phrase, protected by 2FA. Import it into Phantom or Solflare, check that the address matches the bot wallet, then connect to a token account closer and close the empty accounts. Each returns 0.00148844 SOL, or 0.00203928 SOL if it was opened before Solana lowered rent in 2026.
This post covers what is specific to Trojan and BONKbot, checked against their official docs on November 5, 2026. The general bot method is in reclaiming SOL from trading bot wallets.
Why does Trojan say the 0.002 SOL is refundable?
Because it is rent, and rent comes back when the account closes. Trojan's FAQ says that buying a token costs a one-time fee of about 0.002 SOL that "goes to the network to set up space for holding it," and that "This fee is refundable after you sell."
What the FAQ does not say is how. Selling empties the token account, but the deposit stays inside it until someone closes the account, and only the wallet's owner can sign that. I could not find a close or cleanup feature in Trojan's docs, so in practice "refundable" means you close the empty accounts yourself after exporting the key. BONKbot's docs are the same on this point.
How do Trojan and BONKbot hold your wallet?
| Trojan | BONKbot | |

| What you can export | Private key | Seed phrase |
| Export protection | Not described beyond the warning not to share it | 2FA for seed phrase exports and withdrawals |
| Multiple wallets | Up to 10 active wallets; archive to free a slot | Not stated in the docs |

How do you export a Trojan wallet?
Trojan's wallet management guide, written for its web Terminal:
- Open your wallets list.
- On the right of the wallet's row, click the settings icon.
- Choose the export private keys option.
- Click Copy Key, then "Paste the Private Key into your external wallet app."
The Telegram bot has an equivalent export option in its wallet settings. Export each wallet you want to clean; with up to 10 active wallets, that may be several keys. Archived wallets are still on chain with their accounts, so include them if you used them.
How do you export a BONKbot wallet?
BONKbot's burn guide gives the route: "Export the Seed Phrase from your BONKBot," then restore it in "a Solana-compatible wallet like Phantom or Solflare." Its security page says exports require 2FA, so set up or find your authenticator first.
The same guide then uses Sol Incinerator to burn unwanted tokens. That is a separate app, not part of BONKbot; any reputable closer works once the wallet is in Phantom or Solflare, because they all call the same token program instructions. The rent reclaim tools comparison lists their fees, including where Sol Incinerator is cheaper than SOLTidy.
A seed phrase can derive several wallets. After restoring it, make sure the address your wallet app shows is the BONKbot wallet's address; add accounts from the phrase or pick a derivation path in Solflare until it matches.
How do you close the empty accounts?
Once the bot wallet is imported:
- Confirm the address matches the bot wallet exactly.
- Connect it to SOLTidy's Token Account Closer, or the wallet cleanup on the home page if you also want dust, NFTs and pump.fun rewards in the same scan.
- Review the preselected empty accounts. Untick coins you will buy again soon through the bot, since reopening costs a new deposit.
- Check the options under the summary. They cover excess rent on older accounts you keep and pump.fun or PumpSwap accumulators; untick the accumulators if the bot still trades pump.fun coins.
- Handle balances. Dust with a market can go through Sell Dust for SOL; worthless balances can be burned and closed, which is permanent.
- Sign each batch. Every batch is simulated first, and accounts that changed since the scan are dropped. The SOL lands in the bot wallet, where the bot will show it.
The fee is 5% of the SOL recovered, taken inside each transaction, and nothing when nothing is recovered.
How much will you get back?
It depends on how many different coins each wallet bought:
| Source | Per item | 100 items |
|---|---|---|
| Empty token account, opened after the 2026 rent change | 0.00148844 SOL | 0.1488 SOL |
| Empty token account, opened before it (Trojan's "about 0.002 SOL") | 0.00203928 SOL | 0.2039 SOL |
| pump.fun or PumpSwap volume accumulator | 0.0013462 SOL | at most 2 per wallet |
Gone for good: the bots' 1% trading fees, priority fees and tips, and trading losses. Reclaiming SOL after pump.fun trades covers the accumulators and cashback.
What if you run many bot wallets?
Repeat the closer for each imported wallet. If you are done with several wallets entirely, the Wallet Consolidator sweeps SOL and tokens from many wallets into one and can close the emptied token accounts on the way, for 0.0009 SOL per wallet. It takes each wallet's private key in the page, signing in your browser without sending keys anywhere, which suits disposable bot wallets and nothing else. Never paste a seed phrase into a website. Cleaning up multiple Solana wallets compares the approaches.
How do you stay safe while exporting?
- Export on a clean screen. No streaming, screen sharing or remote desktop. No screenshots.
- Paste only into a wallet app's import screen. Not into a website, a chat or a "support" form. No closing tool needs your key or phrase for a connected wallet.
- Watch for fake bots. Telegram is full of lookalike bot usernames. Use the links in each bot's official docs.
- Clear the clipboard after pasting a key.
- Keep bot wallets small. The key now lives in two places. The Solana wallet security checklist covers the rest.
Bottom line
Trojan and BONKbot both make the rent recoverable, because both let you export: a private key from Trojan's wallet settings, a 2FA-protected seed phrase from BONKbot. Import it into Phantom or Solflare, match the address, and close the empty accounts. Trojan's "refundable after you sell" becomes real only once you do. For apps that show the key only once, see Photon and BullX.
Questions & answers
Is the 0.002 SOL Trojan fee refundable?
Trojan's FAQ says the one-time fee of about 0.002 SOL paid when you buy a token goes to the network to set up a token account, and that it is refundable after you sell. The refund happens when that token account is closed, which returns its rent to the wallet. Trojan's docs do not describe a close button, so export the key and close the empty accounts with a wallet or closing tool.
How do I export my Trojan private key?
Trojan's wallet management guide for its web Terminal says to click the settings icon on the right of the wallet's row, choose the export private keys option and click Copy Key, then paste it into your external wallet app. Trojan's Telegram bot has an equivalent option in its wallet settings.
How do I export my BONKbot wallet?
BONKbot's burn guide tells users to export the seed phrase from BONKbot and import it into a Solana wallet such as Phantom or Solflare. BONKbot's security page says seed phrase exports are protected by 2FA, so have your authenticator ready.
Why does BONKbot's guide send users to Sol Incinerator?
BONKbot's burn guide uses Sol Incinerator, a separate cleanup app, to burn unwanted tokens after importing the wallet into Phantom or Solflare. Any reputable closing tool works once the wallet is imported, because they all use the same token program instructions. Compare fees before you pick one.
Can I keep using Trojan or BONKbot after importing the wallet?
Yes. Importing a key or phrase into Phantom copies the ability to sign; the bot still controls the same address. Closing empty token accounts does not affect your balances. If you later buy a coin whose account you closed, the bot opens a new account and pays a new deposit.
