How to Burn SOL Tokens & Recover Rent

Looking to clean up your Solana wallet and recover wasted SOL? This comprehensive guide will show you exactly how to burn SOL tokens, NFTs, and vacant accounts to get your rent back.

💡 Did you know? Every token account in your Solana wallet locks up approximately 0.002 SOL in rent. If you have 100 unwanted tokens, that's 0.2 SOL (~$20-40) just sitting idle!

What Does It Mean to Burn SOL Tokens?

When you burn Solana tokens, you're permanently closing the token account and recovering the rent (SOL) that was locked inside it. This is different from other blockchains—on Solana, burning tokens actually returns value to you!

What you can burn:

Unwanted SPL tokens (spam tokens, dead projects)
NFTs and compressed NFTs (cNFTs)
Vacant token accounts (empty accounts still holding rent)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it safe to burn SOL tokens?

A: Yes! Our Solana token burner uses official Solana programs and only interacts with your wallet through standard Web3 interfaces. We never ask for your private keys or seed phrase.

Q: Can I undo a burn?

A: No, burning tokens is permanent. The tokens are destroyed and the account is closed. Make sure you're burning the right assets!

Q: What happens to compressed NFTs (cNFTs)?

A: Compressed NFTs are displayed in view-only mode for your safety. Since they use different on-chain structures, we recommend extreme caution when burning them.

A: The 3% fee covers infrastructure costs (RPC nodes, APIs, hosting). It's significantly lower than competitors and ensures we can keep the service running 24/7.

A: Burning is instant! Once the transaction is confirmed on the Solana blockchain (usually 1-2 seconds), your SOL is immediately returned to your wallet.

Q: Can I burn tokens on mobile?

A: Yes! Our SOL burner works on all devices. Just use your mobile wallet browser or connect through WalletConnect.

Tips for Maximizing Your SOL Recovery

Review vacant accounts: Empty token accounts still hold rent. Burn them to recover SOL even if they have zero balance.
Burn in batches: Process multiple tokens at once to save time.
Check the global counter: See how much SOL the community has recovered and be part of the movement!
Clean regularly: Make it a habit to burn spam tokens monthly. Don't let rent pile up!
