Close empty Solana token accounts and get the SOL back

Every SPL or Token-2022 account on Solana holds a rent-exempt deposit — the SOL the network requires to keep the account stored. A token account opened today holds 0.00148844 SOL; one opened before Solana lowered rent still holds 0.00203928 SOL, because accounts keep what they were created with. After months of swaps, mints and airdrops, an active wallet collects dozens of them. Closing an empty one returns its whole deposit to your wallet.

SOLTidy scans both token programs plus your pump.fun and PumpSwap accounts, then finds three sources of SOL: empty token accounts to close, older accounts you keep that hold more rent than they now need, and pump.fun trading accounts. Up to 12 go into each transaction, each transaction is simulated first, and the SOL lands in your wallet minus a flat 5% fee taken in the same transaction. A typical wallet finishes in 1–3 signatures.

No — your tokens and the account stay exactly as they are. Solana lowered its rent rate, but an account keeps the lamports it was created with, so a token account opened before the change holds 0.00203928 SOL while it now only needs 0.00148844. The token program's WithdrawExcessLamports instruction returns that 0.00055 SOL difference to you without closing anything. SOLTidy includes it automatically for every account you keep; you can untick it with the options under the summary.

pump.fun and PumpSwap each create a small "volume accumulator" account for every wallet that trades on them, holding about 0.0013 SOL of rent. Closing one returns that SOL. SOLTidy skips any that still hold unclaimed rewards or cashback. If you trade on pump.fun again it recreates the account and charges the rent again, so untick it with the options under the summary if you're still trading there.

Yes. SOLTidy is fully non-custodial: every transaction is built in your browser and signed locally by your wallet — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Glow, Ledger, and any Solana Wallet Standard wallet. We never see your private key, never request token approvals, and never hold your assets. Closing empty accounts is reversible: if you ever receive that token again, your wallet just opens a new associated token account for it on demand.

After the scan every empty token account is selected, so routine cleanup is a single click on the Reclaim tab. The Tokens tab lists every account with a checkbox: untick any of them, or add accounts that still hold tokens (their balance is burned in the same transaction before the close). Filter by empty or with balance, and use Select empty to return to the default.

Connect your wallet on soltidy.com and let it scan. The Reclaim tab shows how much SOL your empty token accounts, spare rent and pump.fun accounts hold, after the 5% fee. Press Claim and approve each batch in your wallet; up to 12 accounts are closed per transaction and the SOL lands in your wallet within seconds.

No — it is your own SOL. Every token account you opened took a rent deposit from your wallet, usually without you noticing because it was bundled into a swap or a buy. Closing the account returns that deposit. Be wary of any site that promises free SOL or asks for your seed phrase: reclaiming rent never needs either.

A tiny amount. Each transaction pays Solana's network fee of 5,000 lamports (0.000005 SOL) per signature from your wallet before the rent comes back, so a wallet with exactly zero SOL can't send anything. About 0.00001 SOL is enough to start; the first batch returns far more than it costs.

Yes. The scan covers both the SPL Token program and Token-2022 in the same pass, so accounts for Token-2022 tokens — including pump.fun coins created with the newer standard — appear alongside SPL accounts. Accounts that can't be closed right now, such as frozen ones, are left out of the selection.

Phantom hides tokens and can burn collectibles, but closing empty fungible token accounts one by one isn't something its help center documents. For a few accounts, the spl-token command line or another wallet's close option works for network fees only. A bulk tool like SOLTidy finds every empty account in one scan and closes them in batches, which matters once you have dozens.

Empty accounts are always safe to close — that's why only they are selected by default. Be deliberate when you add non-empty accounts: the burn step destroys whatever balance is in the account, and that's not reversible. SOLTidy shows a clear red warning whenever non-empty accounts are selected so you sign with full context. Stick to the empty accounts if you're not sure.

A flat 5% of the SOL you recover — rent from closed accounts, excess rent withdrawn from accounts you keep, and any SOL that was sent to a token account by mistake — taken inside each transaction. Wrapped SOL you unwrap is not charged. Nothing is charged when nothing is recovered.
