SOLANA WALLET GUIDES

Close empty accounts and reclaim SOL rent safely.

The wallet changes, but the safety rule does not: connect with a public address, review every account, and sign only the exact close or burn instructions you intend.

01

Clean a Phantom wallet

Connect Phantom, review public token-account data, select only the accounts you understand, and verify every instruction before signing.

  1. 1Open the official wallet extension and make sure the intended public address is active.
  2. 2Connect from the Solana Cleanup tool. A connection should not request a transaction.
  3. 3Run the scan and review empty accounts separately from non-empty tokens and NFTs.
  4. 4Check the gross reclaim, fee, network cost, and destination wallet before approval.
  5. 5Read the transaction in your wallet, then sign only when every instruction is expected.
02

Reclaim SOL with Solflare

Use Solflare to inspect empty accounts and approve an account-close transaction without sharing a seed phrase or private key.

  1. 1Open the official wallet extension and make sure the intended public address is active.
  2. 2Connect from the Solana Cleanup tool. A connection should not request a transaction.
  3. 3Run the scan and review empty accounts separately from non-empty tokens and NFTs.
  4. 4Check the gross reclaim, fee, network cost, and destination wallet before approval.
  5. 5Read the transaction in your wallet, then sign only when every instruction is expected.
03

Clean a Backpack wallet

Connect Backpack, inspect eligible account rent, and keep ambiguous tokens or NFTs unselected until their value is confirmed.

  1. 1Open the official wallet extension and make sure the intended public address is active.
  2. 2Connect from the Solana Cleanup tool. A connection should not request a transaction.
  3. 3Run the scan and review empty accounts separately from non-empty tokens and NFTs.
  4. 4Check the gross reclaim, fee, network cost, and destination wallet before approval.
  5. 5Read the transaction in your wallet, then sign only when every instruction is expected.

What a legitimate cleanup tool asks for

  • A public wallet connection
  • A wallet-native transaction signature
  • Explicit approval for irreversible burns

Stop immediately if a site asks for

  • A seed or recovery phrase
  • A private key
  • An unexplained transfer or authority change
