SolWipeCheck Wallet Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SolWipe, Solana token accounts, and getting back locked SOL.
What is SolWipe?
SolWipe is a free Solana tool that helps you get back SOL locked in empty token accounts. When you trade tokens on Solana, each new token creates a token account with a rent deposit of approximately 0.00204 SOL. When you sell all of a token, the account stays open and the SOL stays locked. SolWipe finds and closes these empty accounts, returning the locked SOL to your wallet.
How does SolWipe work?
SolWipe works in three simple steps: 1) Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Coinbase Wallet). 2) SolWipe automatically scans your wallet and identifies all empty token accounts. 3) Click 'Claim' to close all eligible accounts in a single transaction and receive your SOL back instantly.
Is SolWipe free to use?
Yes, SolWipe is completely free to use. There are no upfront costs. A small service fee is applied only when you get SOL back. If no SOL is found, you pay nothing. You always see the exact amount you will receive before confirming.
Is SolWipe secure?
Absolutely. SolWipe never has access to your private keys or seed phrase. The wallet connection is used only to read your account data and propose transactions. You approve every transaction in your own wallet and maintain full control of your assets at all times.
What are empty token accounts?
On Solana, every token you hold is stored in a separate token account. When you buy a new token for the first time, a token account is created with a rent-exempt deposit of approximately 0.00204 SOL. When you sell all of that token, the account remains open with a zero balance, and the rent deposit stays locked. These are called empty token accounts.
How much SOL can I get back?
It depends on how many empty token accounts you have. Each one holds about 0.00204 SOL. If you have 50, that's around 0.10 SOL. Active meme coin traders often have 100-300 empty accounts, meaning 0.20 to 0.61 SOL or more sitting there.
Which wallets does SolWipe support?
SolWipe supports Phantom, Solflare, and Coinbase Wallet. These are the most popular Solana wallets. Both desktop (browser extension) and mobile versions are supported.
What happens when I close a token account?
When you close an empty token account, the account is removed from the Solana blockchain and the rent-exempt SOL deposit (approximately 0.00204 SOL) is returned to your main wallet balance. This is completely safe -- if you ever need to hold that token again, a new account will be created automatically when you buy it.
Is it safe to close empty token accounts?
Yes, it is completely safe. SolWipe only closes accounts that have a zero token balance. You cannot lose any tokens in the process. If you want to trade a token again in the future, a new account will be automatically created when you buy it.
How often should I use SolWipe?
If you trade frequently (especially meme coins or NFTs), consider using SolWipe weekly. Casual users can check monthly. The key is to not let empty accounts accumulate for too long -- the more you have, the more SOL is sitting idle.
What is Solana rent exemption?
Rent exemption is Solana's system for storing data on the blockchain. Every account must maintain a minimum SOL balance (the rent-exempt minimum) to exist on-chain. For token accounts, this is approximately 0.00204 SOL. This deposit is fully refundable when the account is closed.
What is the SolWipe affiliate program?
SolWipe offers an affiliate program where you can earn 40% commission on platform fees from users you refer. It's free to join with no limits on referrals. You get a unique referral link and earn continuously from fees generated by your referred users.
Why do I have so many token accounts?
Every unique token you interact with on Solana creates a new token account. If you trade meme coins, swap tokens on Jupiter, receive airdrops, or collect NFTs, each interaction potentially creates a new account. Active traders can accumulate hundreds of token accounts within weeks.
What about spam tokens and unwanted NFTs in my wallet?
Spam tokens and unwanted NFTs are a common problem on Solana. Scammers airdrop worthless tokens and NFTs to wallets, creating accounts that lock your SOL in rent deposits. Once you burn or sell these unwanted tokens and NFTs, SolWipe can close the resulting empty accounts and return the locked SOL to your wallet.
Do I need to burn tokens before using SolWipe?
No. SolWipe works with accounts that already have a zero token balance -- meaning you've already sold or transferred all of the token. If you still hold unwanted or spam tokens, you'll need to burn them first using your wallet's built-in burn feature, then use SolWipe to close the empty accounts and reclaim the rent SOL.
Does SolWipe work with trading bot wallets?
Yes. If you use Solana trading bots like Bonkbot, Trojan, Photon, or BullX, they create large numbers of token accounts that lock SOL in rent deposits. SolWipe works with any Solana wallet, including bot wallets. Simply connect the wallet your bot uses, and SolWipe will find and close all empty accounts left behind by your trades.
How is SolWipe different from other wallet cleanup tools?
SolWipe focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well: closing empty token accounts to recover your locked SOL. Other tools may offer token burning, NFT burning, or swap features. SolWipe's focused approach means a faster, simpler experience -- connect your wallet, scan, and get your SOL back in one click. It's free to check, with no hidden fees.
