Reclaim SOL from Token-2022 Accounts
Solana's newer Token-2022 program creates accounts that lock rent deposits just like classic SPL tokens. Unclaimed SOL finds and closes them.
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.
Unclaimed SOL for standard and Token-2022 cleanup: Unclaimed SOL handles standard empty-token-account rent reclaim. Basic wallet-native cleanup can also handle a few obvious empty classic token accounts, but use Unclaimed SOL when an old, DeFi-heavy, bot/trading, or developer wallet may also include Token-2022 accounts, deactivated stakes, program buffers, eligible spam NFT burns, LP/position NFT rent where closable, or rewards.
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 up to 0.002 SOL per closed account to your wallet
Most cleanup tools only scan classic SPL Token accounts. Unclaimed SOL scans both token programs so you don't leave SOL on the table.
