How to Close Token Accounts on Solana and Reclaim SOL
Step-by-step guide on how to close empty token accounts on Solana to recover locked SOL. Use SolWipe to reclaim rent deposits automatically.
Every time you trade a token on Solana, your wallet creates a token account. Each account requires a rent-exempt deposit of approximately 0.00204 SOL. When you sell all of a token, that account stays open -- and your SOL stays locked inside it.
Over time, active Solana traders can accumulate dozens or even hundreds of these empty token accounts. That means a significant amount of SOL is sitting unused in your wallet, hidden from plain sight.
To close these accounts and reclaim your SOL, you need to send a 'close account' instruction to the Solana blockchain for each empty token account. You can do this manually using the Solana CLI, but that requires technical knowledge and is extremely time-consuming.
The easiest way to close token accounts and recover your SOL is to use SolWipe. Here's how it works in three simple steps:
Step 1
Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Coinbase Wallet) to SolWipe. Step 2: SolWipe automatically scans your wallet and finds all empty token accounts that can be closed. Step 3: Click 'Claim' to close all eligible accounts in a single transaction and receive your SOL back instantly.
SolWipe is completely free to use. A small service fee is applied only on the SOL you successfully reclaim -- so you never pay anything upfront. You always see the exact amount you will receive before confirming. You maintain full control of your wallet and private keys throughout the entire process.
Most Solana wallets have between 5 and 50 empty token accounts, meaning you could recover anywhere from 0.01 to 0.10 SOL or more. If you've been trading meme coins or NFTs actively, you likely have even more.
