What is SOL Rent Claimer?

SOL Rent Claimer is the #1 tool that helps you close unused Solana token accounts and reclaim rent fees. SOL Rent Claimer automatically identifies empty accounts in your wallet with locked rent deposits that can be safely recovered.

Is it safe to close token accounts?

Yes, SOL Rent Claimer only shows accounts that are completely safe to close - those with zero balance and no ongoing utility. We never touch accounts with active balances.

How much SOL can I reclaim?

Each token account holds approximately 0.002 SOL as a rent deposit. Active traders can have hundreds of unused accounts, potentially recovering dozens of SOL.

Which wallets work with SOL Rent Claimer?

SOL Rent Claimer supports all major Solana wallets including Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and any wallet compatible with the Solana Wallet Adapter standard.

How long does it take to reclaim SOL rent?

Reclaiming SOL rent is instant. Once you approve the transaction, your SOL is returned to your wallet within seconds as soon as the Solana blockchain confirms the transaction.

Why use SOL Rent Claimer instead of other tools?

SOL Rent Claimer is the most trusted and secure rent recovery tool for Solana. Unlike other tools, SOL Rent Claimer provides instant identification of closeable accounts with zero risk to your active balances.

How does SOL Rent Claimer work?

SOL Rent Claimer connects to your Solana wallet, scans for empty token accounts, and allows you to close them in batch transactions. The tool automatically recovers rent deposits and sends them back to your wallet.

How does the referral program work?

When someone you refer closes token accounts, 10% of their reclaimed SOL is automatically transferred to your wallet in the same transaction. This happens instantly and on-chain without any intermediaries. The referral payment and account closure are processed atomically in a single Solana transaction.

Can I close accounts with a balance?

No, SOL Rent Claimer only displays and allows closing of token accounts with zero balance. Accounts with any token balance are automatically filtered out to ensure complete safety.

What happens to the rent when I close an account?

When you close a token account, the rent deposit (approximately 0.002 SOL per account) is returned to your wallet.

SPL Token vs Token-2022: What's the Difference?

What is Token-2022?

Token-2022 (also called "Token Extensions") is the next-generation token standard on Solana. Released in 2024, it extends the original SPL Token program with powerful new features while maintaining backwards compatibility.

Think of Token-2022 as SPL Token 2.0 - it does everything the original can do, plus much more. Developers can opt into additional features as needed, making tokens more flexible and powerful.

Quick Comparison

Feature	SPL Token	Token-2022
Transfer Fees	❌ No	✅ Yes
Confidential Transfers	❌ No	✅ Yes
Interest-Bearing	❌ No	✅ Yes
Non-Transferable	❌ No	✅ Yes
Permanent Delegate	❌ No	✅ Yes
Rent Cost	~0.002 SOL	Varies by extensions

Key Token-2022 Extensions

Transfer Fee Extension

This extension allows tokens to charge a fee on every transfer. The fee can be:

A percentage of the transfer amount (e.g., 1% fee)
A fixed amount per transfer
A combination of both

Use cases: Stablecoins with transaction fees, tokens funding development through transfers, or regulatory compliance tokens.

Important for rent reclaiming: Withheld fees must be harvested before an account can be closed. SOL Rent Claimer handles this automatically.

Confidential Transfer Extension

This extension uses zero-knowledge proofs to hide transfer amounts and balances. Only the account owner can decrypt their true balance.

Use cases: Privacy-focused tokens, payroll systems, enterprise applications where transaction amounts should be confidential.

Technical note: Confidential balances must be emptied (brought to zero) before closing the account. This requires special cryptographic proofs.

Interest-Bearing Extension

Tokens can automatically accrue interest over time. The interest rate is set by the mint authority and applied to all holders. Perfect for yield-bearing stablecoins or savings tokens.

Non-Transferable Extension

These tokens are permanently locked to the wallet that received them - they cannot be transferred or sold. Great for:

Soulbound tokens (achievements, credentials)
Access passes tied to specific accounts
Reputation systems

Permanent Delegate

The mint authority can designate a permanent delegate with special powers over all token accounts. This enables:

Recovery mechanisms for lost accounts
Compliance and regulatory controls
Automatic token burns or transfers

Transfer Hook Extension

Execute custom program logic on every transfer. This enables NFT royalties, dynamic taxation, whitelist enforcement, and complex DeFi mechanics.

Rent Implications

Token-2022 accounts require more storage space than SPL Token accounts because they store additional extension data. The rent cost varies based on which extensions are enabled:

Basic Token-2022: ~0.0023 SOL (similar to SPL Token)
With Transfer Fee: +~0.0003 SOL
With Confidential Transfer: +~0.0015 SOL
Multiple Extensions: Can exceed 0.004 SOL per account

This means Token-2022 accounts can lock significantly more SOL, making rent reclaiming even more valuable for active traders.

Backwards Compatibility

Token-2022 is designed to coexist with SPL Token:

SPL Token continues to work perfectly for simple use cases
Most wallets and DEXs support both programs
Token-2022 can behave exactly like SPL Token if no extensions are used
Both programs can run simultaneously on the same network

You don't need to "upgrade" from SPL Token to Token-2022. Developers choose based on whether they need the advanced features.

Closing Token-2022 Accounts

Closing Token-2022 accounts can be more complex than SPL Token accounts due to extensions:

Transfer Fee Accounts

Before closing, any withheld fees must be harvested. SOL Rent Claimer automatically executes the harvest instruction before closing these accounts.

Confidential Transfer Accounts

The confidential balance must be emptied to zero before closing. This requires generating a zero-knowledge proof, which SOL Rent Claimer handles automatically.

Basic Extensions

Other extensions like interest-bearing or metadata don't require special handling - if the balance is zero, the account can be closed normally.

Adoption Status

As of early 2025, Token-2022 adoption is growing:

Major wallets (Phantom, Solflare) fully support Token-2022
Most DEXs can handle basic Token-2022 tokens
Advanced extensions (confidential transfer) have limited DeFi integration
New projects increasingly choose Token-2022 for flexibility
Stablecoin issuers exploring transfer fee extension for compliance

Which Should You Use?

Choose SPL Token if:

You need a simple, battle-tested token
Maximum compatibility is critical
You don't need any advanced features
Lower rent costs are important

Choose Token-2022 if:

You need transfer fees or interest-bearing tokens
Privacy features are required
You want non-transferable tokens
Advanced control and flexibility are worth slightly higher costs

SOL Rent Claimer Supports Both

Whether you have SPL Token or Token-2022 accounts, SOL Rent Claimer automatically handles the complexities. We detect extensions, harvest fees, empty confidential balances, and safely close all types of empty accounts.
