Bought a memecoin, collected an NFT or received an airdrop on Solana? Each of those can open a token account in your wallet with a small SOL deposit inside. Sell or send the token and the account can stay behind, empty, with the deposit still in it. A sol claim (also searched as solclaim) gets that SOL back.
What is a sol claim?
A sol claim closes the empty token accounts in your Solana wallet so their rent deposits come back to you as SOL. Before fees, a standard account holds 0.00203928 SOL if opened under Solana's original rent setting, or 0.00148844 SOL if opened at the rate checked October 7, 2026.
Solana charges a refundable storage deposit, called rent, for every account that holds data. A token account is created the first time a wallet holds a new token, and whoever creates it funds the deposit: you when you buy, the sender when you're airdropped something. Either way the deposit belongs to the account's owner, and it returns when the account is closed.
Closing works only on empty accounts, so a sol claim doesn't touch the tokens you still hold. Compressed NFTs are the exception to all of this: they don't use token accounts, so there's no deposit to claim from them.
How much SOL can you claim?
That depends on how many empty accounts your wallet has and when they were opened. Solana lowered its rent rate twice in September 2026, so newer accounts hold less than older ones:
| Empty standard accounts | Opened under the original rent setting | Opened at the current rate (checked October 7, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Each account holds | 0.00203928 SOL | 0.00148844 SOL |
| 10 accounts | 0.0203928 SOL | 0.0148844 SOL |
| 100 accounts | 0.203928 SOL | 0.148844 SOL |
| 500 accounts | 1.01964 SOL | 0.74422 SOL |
Those are the deposits before fees. Our 2% base fee means most of each deposit comes back to you: after the fee, which has a per-account minimum, you keep about 0.0019985 SOL (98%) from each older standard account and 0.0014477 SOL (97%) from each newer one, before network costs. Token-2022 accounts vary in size and use a different minimum fee, so their amounts differ. The scan shows your own total before you approve anything.
Older accounts you still use can hold SOL too. Because the reserve dropped, an account opened under the original setting now holds more than it needs. Fun Mode can withdraw that surplus and leave the account open with your tokens in it.
How do you claim your SOL?
- Open Sol Incinerator and connect your wallet. Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Trust Wallet, OKX, Exodus and WalletConnect wallets all work.
- Fun Mode scans your wallet and lists the empty accounts and surplus deposits you can claim, with the amount you'll get back.
- Pick what you want to clean up.
- Approve in your wallet. A wallet with a lot of accounts may need more than one approval, because some wallets limit how many transactions they preview at once.
- The SOL lands in your wallet as each transaction confirms.
Want more back? Pro Mode lets you burn tokens and NFTs you no longer want and recover their deposits too. Burning is permanent, so swap anything that still has a market first. Our token account guide covers accounts that won't close and other edge cases.
Is claiming SOL safe?
Fun Mode never burns anything, and closing an empty account can't affect tokens you hold. Your keys never leave your wallet, and nothing happens until you approve it. Our fees go to a public address, burn68h9dS2tvZwtCFMt79SyaEgvqtcZZWJphizQxgt, so anyone can check them on-chain.
A real sol claim never asks for your seed phrase or private key, and never asks you to send SOL first to "unlock" a payout. If a site or Telegram bot does either, close it.
