Wrap and Unwrap SOL

What is wrapped SOL (WSOL)?

Wrapped SOL (WSOL) is SOL held inside an SPL token account for Solana's native mint, So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Many Solana programs, such as DEXes, AMMs and lending markets, only move SPL tokens. Wrapping lets them treat SOL like any other token.

How wrapping and unwrapping work

Wrap SOL to WSOL

1. Create your WSOL associated token account if it does not exist yet. This needs a refundable rent deposit.
2. Transfer the SOL amount into that account.
3. Run SPL Token SyncNative so the token balance matches the SOL held by the account.

Unwrap WSOL to SOL

The SPL Token program only releases wrapped SOL when a WSOL account is closed. Unwrap all closes your WSOL account and sends every lamport, including the rent deposit, back to your wallet.

To unwrap part of your WSOL, the transaction creates a temporary WSOL account, moves the chosen amount into it and closes it to your wallet. All of this happens inside one transaction, so the temporary rent comes straight back and your main WSOL account stays open.

Free to use: no service fee

Unclaimed SOL does not charge for wrapping or unwrapping, and these transactions contain no fee transfer. You pay only the Solana network fee, usually 0.000005 SOL per transaction. Creating a WSOL account needs a rent deposit, which is returned when you unwrap all.

• One transaction, signed in your own wallet
• No custody: SOL never leaves accounts your wallet owns
• Fresh balances are checked again right before you sign

How to wrap and unwrap SOL

1. Connect your wallet. Connect the Solana wallet that holds the SOL or WSOL. The page reads its SOL balance and WSOL account.
2. Choose wrap or unwrap. Pick Wrap to turn SOL into WSOL, or Unwrap to turn WSOL back into SOL.
3. Enter the amount. Type an amount or use a quick amount. Choosing all of your WSOL can also close the WSOL account to return its rent.
4. Review and sign. Check the amounts, then sign one transaction in your wallet. There is no service fee, only the Solana network fee.

Wrap and unwrap SOL FAQ

What is wrapped SOL (WSOL)?

Wrapped SOL is native SOL held in an SPL token account for the native mint So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. One WSOL is always backed by exactly one SOL, so programs that only handle SPL tokens can use SOL like any other token.

Does this tool charge a fee to wrap or unwrap SOL?

No. Unclaimed SOL charges no service fee for wrapping or unwrapping. You only pay the Solana network fee, usually 0.000005 SOL per transaction, plus refundable token account rent when a WSOL account has to be created.

Why does the first wrap cost about 0.002 SOL extra?

If your wallet has no WSOL account yet, the first wrap creates one. Solana requires the account to hold a small rent-exempt deposit, under 0.0021 SOL; the page shows the exact current amount before you sign. It is not a fee: you get it back when you unwrap all and the WSOL account is closed.

Can I unwrap only part of my WSOL?

Yes. Enter any amount up to your WSOL balance. The transaction creates a temporary WSOL account, moves that amount into it and closes it to your wallet in the same transaction, so the temporary rent is returned immediately and your main WSOL account stays open.

What does Unwrap all do?

Unwrap all closes your WSOL account. Every lamport in it, the wrapped balance plus the rent deposit, goes back to your wallet as SOL. Apps that need WSOL will create the account again when required.

Which WSOL accounts does the tool support?

The tool uses your wallet's standard WSOL associated token account on the classic SPL Token program, the account wallets and DEXes use. WSOL held in other token accounts is not changed.
