If your Solana wallet has accumulated empty SPL token accounts from old airdrops, dead memecoins, or NFTs you have already sold, there is locked SOL sitting in those accounts that you can claim back.

Several tools promise to help you do this. The three most commonly compared are Sol Incinerator, ClaimYourSol, and Unclaimed SOL. They all share the same core idea — close empty token accounts and return your locked rent — but they differ a lot on fees, supported assets, and how much of your wallet they actually clean.

This guide is a side-by-side comparison so you can pick the right one.

What These Tools Actually Do

Every Solana token account requires a small SOL deposit (around 0.00204 SOL) to remain rent-exempt on-chain. When you no longer hold the token, the account becomes empty — but your SOL is still locked inside.

A Solana wallet cleaner scans your wallet for these vacant accounts and closes them, returning the rent deposit to you. Some tools also burn unwanted tokens, NFTs, liquidity pools, and domain names — destroying the asset and reclaiming the rent in one step.

Quick Comparison Table

Fee figures below are based on recent on-chain transaction behavior. Feature rows reflect reviewed app capabilities as of May 2026; verification notes are at the bottom.

Per empty token account closed, the difference is concrete: you get back about ~0.00163 SOL with ClaimYourSol, ~0.00194 SOL with Unclaimed SOL, or ~0.002 SOL with Sol Incinerator. Over a wallet with 30 vacant accounts that's the difference between recovering ~0.0489 SOL, ~0.0581 SOL, and ~0.060 SOL respectively.

Sol Incinerator

Sol Incinerator is the original Solana wallet cleaner, live since December 2021 and built by the Sol Slugs team. It is a non-custodial app — your private keys never leave your wallet, and every action requires your explicit signature.

Strengths

• Lowest fee in the comparison. Cleanup keeps roughly 2% of the reclaimed rent — you receive about 0.002 SOL of the ~0.00204 SOL rent per token account. That is 10× lower than ClaimYourSol's 20% fee and 2.5× lower than Unclaimed SOL's 5%. NFT burns keep around 5%. There is no upfront cost; you only pay from SOL you actually reclaim.
• Widest advertised asset support. Closes empty token accounts, burns standard SPL tokens, NFTs, programmable NFTs (pNFTs), editions, compressed NFTs, liquidity pools, Bonfida domain names, and stuck tokens — all in one app.
• Token-2022 support. Both classic SPL Token and the newer Token-2022 (Token Extensions) program are supported.
• All-in-one toolkit. Token swaps via Jupiter, mass send for tokens and NFTs, and a dedicated tool to properly burn tokens stuck in the 1nc1nerator11111111111111111111111111111111 address — useful for token developers who need verified burns on DEXScreener.
• Two modes. Fun Mode is a strictly non-destructive cleanup mode; you can only close empty accounts, with zero risk to active assets. Pro Mode unlocks burning, with safety controls to protect valuable tokens and NFTs.

Best for

Anyone who wants the most thorough cleanup, the lowest fee, and a single app that also handles swaps, transfers, and stuck-token recovery. If you have NFTs, pNFTs, LPs, or domains you no longer want, Sol Incinerator is the only one of these three that advertises support for burning them.

What ClaimYourSol Costs You

ClaimYourSol (a SantosLabs project, founded January 2023) does exactly one thing: closes empty classic-SPL token accounts. Its on-chain program charges a flat 20% — you give up about 0.000408 SOL of every 0.002039 SOL rent deposit. Across a wallet with 30 vacant accounts that's roughly 0.012 SOL left on the table compared to using Sol Incinerator.

It also does not support Token-2022 accounts, does not burn NFTs of any kind, does not handle liquidity pools, Bonfida domains, or stuck tokens, and does not include mass send or token swaps. So if your wallet has any of that — and most active Solana wallets do — you would need to use Sol Incinerator anyway for the rest of the cleanup. The simpler path is to use one tool that handles everything at a 2% fee.

What Unclaimed SOL Costs You

Unclaimed SOL's token-account claim fee is 5%, with higher fee tiers for some other claim types. On the cleanup task most users care about — closing empty SPL token accounts — that 5% is still 2.5× what Sol Incinerator charges.

It does support Token-2022, but it does not burn programmable NFTs, NFT editions, compressed NFTs, liquidity pools, Bonfida domains, or stuck tokens, and it does not include mass send or an integrated Jupiter swap. For the assets most Solana users actually have in their wallets, Sol Incinerator returns more SOL per account closed and covers far more asset types in one place.

Bottom Line

For almost every Solana wallet, Sol Incinerator is the right pick:

• You keep more SOL per account. ~2% fee versus 5% on Unclaimed SOL and 20% on ClaimYourSol.
• One app for everything in your wallet. Empty token accounts, NFTs, pNFTs, compressed NFTs, editions, liquidity pools, Bonfida domains, stuck tokens, plus Jupiter swaps and mass send. ClaimYourSol and Unclaimed SOL each only handle a subset.
• Longest track record. Live since December 2021 — over a year before ClaimYourSol launched.
• Non-custodial. Your keys never leave your wallet, every action is signed by you.

If your wallet is full of empty token accounts, NFTs, dust tokens, or anything else clogging it up, the math is straightforward: you keep the most SOL by using Sol Incinerator.

How to Claim Your SOL with Sol Incinerator

1. Open Sol Incinerator.
2. Connect your Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Trust Wallet, OKX, Exodus, Ledger, or any wallet that supports WalletConnect.
3. The wallet cleaner scans for empty SPL token accounts automatically.
4. Click Claim SOL to close all vacant accounts in one go and recover your locked SOL.
5. (Optional) Switch to Pro Mode to burn unwanted tokens, NFTs, LPs, or domains for additional rent recovery.

There is no upfront cost. You keep the SOL you reclaim, minus a small percentage fee.

How These Numbers Were Verified On-Chain

For readers who want to check the math themselves: every fee figure in this post comes from inspecting actual claim transactions on Solana, not from competitor marketing copy.

ClaimYourSol does not publish a fee anywhere on its website. Its claim program is deployed at CLAiMQdJ5oufDVqqzJEHNJMwXffRQM4NxEBpATtf8aXN. On every claim, the rent reclaimed from closing the user's empty SPL token accounts is split between the user's wallet, a vault owned by the program, and a constant secondary collector wallet. Across recent claim transactions of varying sizes, the split was consistent: the user receives 80%, ClaimYourSol keeps 20%.

• 5z8w1ce3...cuua — 4 accounts closed, 0.008157 SOL reclaimed, user got 0.006509 SOL (79.79%), fee 20.00%.
• 5VHYYL...CEfQ — 1 account, 0.002039 SOL reclaimed, user got 0.001624 SOL, fee 20.00%.
• 2d3Map...dJst — 4 accounts, fee 20.00%.

Unclaimed SOL was checked the same way: program uncNCRycMtNPj2kXHfwiCgNrzCTnC9xU5FS8ZeWyn3M, and recent transactions kept exactly 5.00% of reclaimed rent — matching the rate they publish.

Sol Incinerator's cleanup fees are visible the same way through its fee receiver wallet burn68h9dS2tvZwtCFMt79SyaEgvqtcZZWJphizQxgt. The model is a flat user payout of 0.002 SOL per closed token account, leaving roughly 1.93% of the 0.002039 SOL rent as the cleanup fee.

• 2hgzhC...h8Ko — 1 SPL token account closed, 0.002039 SOL reclaimed, user got 0.002000 SOL, fee 1.93%.
• 2xwSot...szZa — 1 SPL token account closed, 0.002039 SOL reclaimed, user got 0.002000 SOL, fee 1.93%.

The Yes / No rows for asset support were verified by downloading each tool's front-end JavaScript bundle and grepping for the relevant Solana program IDs and instruction builders. ClaimYourSol's bundle contains only the SPL Token program's CloseAccount instruction — no Token-2022, no Token Metadata burn, no Jupiter, no mass send, no compressed-NFT handling. Unclaimed SOL's bundle includes Token-2022 but does not contain Token Metadata burn instructions, MPL Core handling, Bonfida domain logic, Serum/OpenOrders close logic, or compressed-NFT handling.

Apps can change, so always review the transaction in your wallet before signing.
