How Burn the SOL works
Burn the SOL helps clean Solana wallets by burning selected worthless tokens and closing their token accounts. When an account can be closed, the Solana network returns the rent reserve to the wallet owner.
The transaction flow
- 1You connect a Solana wallet.
- 2The app reads token accounts and estimates what can be cleaned.
- 3You review the list and choose which accounts to burn and close.
- 4The app builds a transaction for the selected accounts.
- 5You approve or reject the transaction in your wallet.
- 6If the transaction succeeds, selected accounts close and rent returns to your wallet.
Protected tokens
Valuable tokens should not be burned for wallet cleanup. Burn the SOL includes filters and review steps to reduce accidental burns, but the final decision belongs to the wallet owner.
Unpriced tokens
An unpriced token is not automatically worthless. It may be new, illiquid, or missing market data. Review unknown tokens carefully before selecting them for cleanup.
Fees and refunds
Burn the SOL charges a service fee from the reclaimed rent amount. Normal Solana network fees can also apply. The reclaimed SOL does not come from a Burn the SOL payout wallet. It comes from the closed token accounts and is returned by the network.
Limits and user responsibility
- Burning a token is permanent.
- Some frozen or restricted tokens may not be burnable.
- Some token accounts may not have reclaimable SOL.
- Market data can be incomplete, especially for new or obscure tokens.
- You should reject any wallet transaction that does not match what you expected.
