How to Reclaim Rent SOL on Solana: Complete Guide

Every account on Solana requires a rent-exempt deposit to exist on the blockchain. For token accounts, this deposit is approximately 0.00204 SOL. When accounts are no longer needed, you can close them and reclaim these deposits.

The most common type of reclaimable rent comes from empty token accounts. These are accounts that were created when you bought tokens and remained open after you sold everything. Each one holds 0.00204 SOL that belongs to you.

You'll see the number of eligible accounts and the total SOL you can reclaim. Click 'Claim' and approve the transaction in your wallet. The empty accounts will be closed and the rent deposits returned to your main SOL balance.

How often should you reclaim rent? If you trade frequently, consider doing it weekly. Casual users can check monthly. The key is to not let empty accounts accumulate for too long -- the more you have, the more SOL is sitting idle.
