Reclaim SOL from Token-2022 Accounts

What is Token-2022?

Token-2022 (also called Token Extensions) is Solana's next-generation token program. It supports advanced features like transfer fees, confidential transfers, interest-bearing tokens, and non-transferable tokens.

As more projects adopt Token-2022, wallets are accumulating a new category of unused accounts. These accounts lock SOL just like classic SPL token accounts — but many cleanup tools only scan the original token program and miss them entirely.

Why Token-2022 accounts lock SOL

Like all Solana accounts, Token-2022 token accounts require a rent-exempt deposit. Because Token-2022 accounts can carry extension data (transfer fee configs, metadata pointers, etc.), they may require slightly more SOL than a classic 165-byte SPL account.

Common scenarios that create unused Token-2022 accounts:

• Trading Token-2022 tokens and selling the entire balance
• Receiving airdropped Token-2022 tokens you don't want
• Interacting with DeFi protocols that use Token-2022
• Token-2022 spam tokens sent to your wallet

How Unclaimed SOL handles Token-2022

Unclaimed SOL scans for both classic SPL Token and Token-2022 accounts. The close process handles Token-2022-specific details automatically:

• Detects Token-2022 accounts alongside classic SPL accounts in a single scan
• Harvests withheld transfer fees to the mint before closing (when applicable)
• Burns any remaining balance before closing the account
• Returns the rent deposit to your wallet (minus the 5% service fee)
