Safety
Is Burn the SOL safe?
Burn the SOL is a non-custodial Solana wallet cleanup tool. You stay in control of your wallet, review the selected tokens, and approve the burn-and-close transaction yourself.
What the app does
- Finds token accounts that may be safe to clean up.
- Lets you review and select the accounts you want to remove.
- Burns selected worthless SPL tokens before closing their token accounts.
- Shows the estimated reclaimed SOL and fees before you approve.
What the app does not do
- It does not ask for your seed phrase or private keys.
- It does not take custody of your wallet.
- It does not pay reclaimed SOL from a Burn the SOL wallet.
- It does not make a token safe, valuable, or worthless by itself.
How to verify before signing
- 1Confirm that the wallet address shown in the app is the wallet you want to clean.
- 2Review every selected token. Keep anything valuable, unknown, or still tradable.
- 3Check the estimated reclaimed SOL, service fee, and network fee.
- 4Open the wallet transaction details before signing.
- 5If the transaction does not match what the app showed, reject it.
- 6After the transaction lands, verify the signature in a Solana explorer.
Where the SOL comes from
When a Solana token account is created, it holds a rent reserve so the account can exist on-chain. If that token account can be closed, the rent reserve is returned by the Solana network to the wallet owner. Burn the SOL helps prepare and submit that burn-and-close transaction.
Fees
Burn the SOL charges a service fee from the reclaimed rent amount, and the Solana network also charges normal transaction fees. The app shows the expected amounts before you approve. Referral discounts can lower the service fee when available.
