How FreeSolana Works
FreeSolana is a tool that helps you recover SOL that's been locked away in empty token accounts. Here's everything you need to know about how it works.
What Are Token Accounts?
On Solana, when you receive any SPL token (memecoins, NFTs, wrapped tokens, etc.), the network creates a special account called a Token Account to hold that specific token for you.
Each token account requires a small deposit of SOL (approximately 0.002 SOL) called "rent" to exist on the blockchain. This rent is a one-time deposit that keeps your account active and stores your token data.
The Problem: Empty Accounts
When you sell, trade, or transfer all tokens from an account, it becomes "empty" with a balance of 0. However, the token account itself remains on the blockchain, and your rent deposit stays locked inside.
Over time, active traders can accumulate hundreds or even thousands of these empty accounts, each holding ~0.002 SOL hostage. That adds up quickly:
- 100 empty accounts = ~0.2 SOL
- 500 empty accounts = ~1 SOL
- 1,000 empty accounts = ~2 SOL
The Solution: Close & Reclaim
The good news is that empty token accounts can be safely closed, and when they're closed, the rent deposit is refunded to your wallet.
FreeSolana makes this process simple:
- Connect your wallet - We scan for all empty token accounts
- Review and select - See exactly which accounts will be closed
- Sign the transaction - One click to close them all
- Receive your SOL - Rent deposits are refunded instantly
Is It Safe?
Yes, absolutely. Here's why:
- Only empty accounts: We only close accounts with 0 token balance. Accounts holding any tokens are never touched.
- You sign everything: Every transaction requires your wallet signature. We never have access to your private keys.
- Transparent fees: Our 20% fee is clearly shown before you sign. You know exactly what you'll receive.
- Standard Solana operations: We use official Solana libraries and the standard closeAccount instruction. Nothing custom or risky.
Our Fee Structure
FreeSolana charges a 20% fee on recovered SOL. This helps us maintain the service, pay for RPC nodes, and continue development.
| Description | Percentage |
|---|---|
| You receive | 80% |
| Platform fee | 20% |
Example: If you have 100 empty accounts (~0.2 SOL total), you'll receive 0.16 SOL and we keep 0.04 SOL.
