Claim Free SOL from Token Accounts

Want to claim free SOL from your Solana wallet? Every empty token account locks ~0.002 SOL in rent. Close them and get your SOL back instantly.

Every token you've ever traded on Solana created a token account that locks approximately 0.002 SOL in rent. After selling, that SOL stays trapped. You can claim it back by closing these empty accounts.

If you've been active on Solana — trading memecoins, claiming airdrops, or using DeFi — you likely have dozens to hundreds of empty accounts. That's 0.1 to 2+ SOL sitting idle in your wallet.

How to Claim Your SOL Back

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Visit refundyoursol.com and connect any Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare, Coinbase, Backpack, or others. No signup needed.

Step 2: See Your Locked SOL

The tool instantly scans your wallet and shows every empty token account with locked rent. You'll see exactly how much SOL is recoverable.

Step 3: Close & Claim

Click to close all empty accounts in one transaction. Your SOL is returned to your wallet within seconds.

What Makes This Different from Other Tools?

Several tools let you claim SOL from empty accounts. Here's why RefundYourSOL is the most popular choice with 500,000+ wallets processed:

Fee Payer Mode — Have zero SOL? No problem. RefundYourSOL covers transaction fees for you. Other tools like ClaimFreeSOL and ClaimYourSOL require you to have SOL to pay gas.

Burn & Close — Many accounts have tiny amounts of worthless tokens (dust). RefundYourSOL burns the dust and closes the account in one step. Tools without burning skip these accounts entirely, leaving SOL on the table.

Safety Burns — Burn the wrong token by accident? RefundYourSOL can revert it. No other tool offers this.

Lowest Effective Fees — Stack fee matching, $RYS token discounts (up to 50% off), and XP ranking bonuses (up to 15% off) to pay under 1% in fees. Compare that to ClaimFreeSOL's fixed 15% or ClaimYourSOL's fixed 20%.

How Much SOL Can You Claim?

It depends on your trading history:

• Casual user (50 empty accounts): ~0.1 SOL
• Active trader (200 accounts): ~0.4 SOL
• Power user (500+ accounts): ~1+ SOL
• DeFi degen (1000+ accounts): ~2+ SOL

Most users are surprised by how much they recover. The scan is free — you only pay a fee if you choose to close accounts.

Is It Really Free?

The SOL you recover is yours — it was always in your wallet, just locked in empty accounts. RefundYourSOL charges a fee on the recovered amount (starting at 15%, reducible to under 1%), but since you're recovering SOL that was otherwise inaccessible, it's effectively free money.

With Fee Payer mode, you don't even need SOL to start. The fee is deducted from what you recover.
