How do I claim Solana rent recovery?

What’s Solana account rent recovery?

On the Solana network, users need to prepay a small amount of SOL as account rent to store data on-chain. In simple terms, when you interact with a token for the first time (for example, receiving a new coin), the network creates a dedicated on-chain account for that token and deducts a small amount of SOL from your wallet as rent.

Each Solana token and NFT has its own independent account, and this account must hold a minimum amount of SOL to remain active. When the balance of a token or NFT account reaches zero, you can recover the previously paid SOL rent by closing the account through the rent recovery mechanism.

FAQ

Do I need to pay network fees to claim Solana rent?

Yes. Claiming Solana rent requires paying on-chain network fees. The exact fee will be shown on the page before you confirm.

Why does an error appear when I claim Solana rent?

If you see “Failed to estimate network fee,” it usually means your wallet doesn’t have enough SOL to cover the network fee. The estimated network fee needs to cover the maximum possible gas fee onchain. We recommend keeping at least 0.01 SOL in your wallet before trying again.

How do I close a Solana token account?

When you claim rent, the system automatically closes the corresponding Solana token account in your wallet. You can use this feature in your Web3 wallet to close the account and redeem the rent at the same time. Just make sure there's no NFTs or coins stored in the selected Solana coin account before you proceed — otherwise, the rent can’t be recovered.
