    Weekly Report: Over 320 SOL Claimed This Week

    Introduction

    The past seven days have been incredible for Solana users reclaiming their hidden balances.
    According to our latest data, over 320 SOL were claimed this week through UnclaimedSOL, a platform that helps users recover rent fees and forgotten assets safely from their wallets.

    Weekly SOL Claimed

    This weekly report breaks down how much SOL was claimed, where it came from, and what it means for the growing Solana community.

    How “Claimed SOL” Is Calculated

    Whenever a user runs a cleanup on UnclaimedSOL, the app automatically scans their wallet for inactive token accounts, closed DeFi program leftovers, and unused mints.
    Each cleanup returns a small balance, usually between 0.001 and 0.004 SOL per account, directly to the user’s wallet.

    To keep the network sustainable, a tiny service fee of 5% is sent to our operational wallet. By analyzing this wallet on-chain, we can accurately estimate the total SOL claimed by all users across the platform.

    Weekly On-Chain Overview

    Between 12 October and 19th October, here’s what happened on UnclaimedSOL:

    • Total fees collected: $2.994
    • Total USD value recovered: 2994 / 0.05 = $59.880
    • Number of wallets cleaned: 12.057
    • Number of transactions: 21.308
    • Average claimed per wallet: 0.027 SOL (equivalent to $4.97)

    Every number above comes straight from the Solana blockchain, publicly verifiable through explorers like Solscan by inspecting our fee address: uncNCRycMtNPj2kXHfwiCgNrzCTnC9xU5FS8ZeWyn3M. No estimates – only real, on-chain data. We have also pulled screenshots from Solsan for the stats so you can check below.

    Visualizing the Claimed SOL

    To make weekly tracking easier, we have added a few screenshots from Solscan. These charts show the total operational wallet balance and number of transactions per day for the past 7 days.

    Why This Matters

    Cleaning up wallets isn’t just about free SOL. It keeps the Solana network lightweight and efficient.
    Every closed token account reduces blockchain storage, lowers validator load, and improves performance across the ecosystem.

    So each time users claim SOL, they’re also contributing to a cleaner, faster, and more sustainable Solana.

    Overall Stats by Phantom

    If you navigate to Unclaimed SOL Phantom App Page you can see overall metrics of 25k+ transactions, almost 60k connections and 13k+ active users. This puts Unclaimed SOL in the very top of all Claiming Tools with a market rank of 1.

    Check out our comparison post on how Unclaimed SOL gives you the most rewards: Sol Incinerator vs Unclaimed SOL vs Claim Your SOL – Who Gives You the Most SOL?

  • Sol Incinerator vs Unclaimed SOL vs Claim Your SOL – Who Gives You the Most SOL?

    Sol Incinerator vs Unclaimed SOL vs Claim Your SOL – Who Gives You the Most SOL?

    Every Solana wallet hides unclaimed SOL – small rent deposits stuck inside old token accounts from test mints, rugs or forgotten airdrops. A few specialized tools promise to help you recover that money. The three most used are Sol Incinerator, Claim Your SOL, and Unclaimed SOL.

    Claim Most SOL on Solana

    All three have the same goal: help you claim most SOL from inactive accounts or low valued tokens. But how they do it – and how much you actually get back – is where things change.

    What These Tools Actually Do

    Each SPL token account locks a small amount of SOL as rent. When that account is closed, the rent goes back to your wallet. Over time, that can mean 0.5 to 10 SOL sitting idle.

    These apps scan your wallet, find zero ow low balance accounts and send a transaction to burn or close them. In return, you reclaim the rent. The key difference between tools is how flexible, transparent and cheap they are.

    1. Sol Incinerator – Reliable Pioneer That Lacks Fee Transparency

    Sol Incinerator deserves credit for being one of the first working claim tools on Solana. It set the standard early and, years later, it’s still online and functional — proof of strong technical foundations and trust from the community.

    That said, the user experience hasn’t kept up with newer platforms. The interface feels a bit heavy and the font styling can make it tiring for long sessions. The real concern, however, is fee transparency: users don’t see an exact percentage before claiming, and final deductions often vary.

    In crypto, transparency matters. For a service with this much history and recognition, clearer fee disclosure would go a long way.

    Pros

    • Longest-running and battle-tested tool
    • Supports Ledger
    • Stable performance under network load

    Cons

    • No upfront fee breakdown (average ~7-8 %)
    • Interface could use modern polish
    • Limited clarity on transaction cost reporting

    Claim amount

    For the testing wallet that we used, SOL Incinerator detected 10 empty accounts, 7 low valued tokens and 1 low valued asset. The total amount of rewards was 0.032 SOL

    2. Claim Your SOL – High Fees, Basic Functionality

    Claim Your SOL positions itself as beginner-friendly, but the numbers tell another story. The tool currently takes around 20% in service fees, which is far above market average. That means if you recover 1 SOL of rent, you only keep 0.8 SOL — the rest goes to the platform.

    The interface is simple enough for small wallets, but lacks advanced features like burning small valued tokens for even more rewards.

    Fee: ~20%, on every claim
    Burn support: ❌

    Claim Your SOL works, but if you actually want to claim most SOL back, this tool is simply too expensive for what it does. It was only able to detect 10 empty token accounts and the reward of only 0.01631 SOL.

    3. Unclaimed SOL – Transparent and Cheapest

    This is where Unclaimed SOL dominates. It was built by Solana developers who understood how much rent was being lost to inefficient tools.

    Pros:

    • Lowest fee (only 5%)
    • Clean User Interface for Simple Cleanup
    • API integration used by bots like SOL Sniper and explorers like Solscan

    Cons:

    • Due to process simplification, some assets are grouped and not divided into categories which does not give clear overview of the asset type/category

    During the claim process, using the same wallet, Unclaimed SOL detected 18 assets and gave the total reward of the winning 0.034872 SOL

    Real User Feedback

    Traders across Twitter and Discord often share that Unclaimed SOL returns more than other tools. One user said:

    “checked @unclaimed_sol on a whim – turns out I had some SOL just sitting there unclaimed. connect > sign > done. rewards were higher than other sites kinda wild how easy it was ” – view post by Kate Miller

    Stories like that spread fast – and for good reason. Transparency builds trust.

    Common Mistakes to Avoid

    Even with the best reclaim tools, some users lose value because they:

    • Run older wallet versions with failed close instructions
    • Forget to approve all batch transactions
    • Skip the preview step and misunderstand net returns
    • Mix airdrop claim tools with rent-reclaim ones

    Always review the estimate and run a small test first.

    The Future of Claim Tools on Solana

    Expect smarter “rent reclaim” systems ahead. As the ecosystem matures, tools like Unclaimed SOL are already exploring integration with wallets and DEX dashboards, turning claiming into a background process.

    Meanwhile, older tools like SOL Incinerator, even though famous, may struggle to keep up with scale and newer demands. The ones who invest in automation and transparency will dominate – and those are the exact areas Unclaimed SOL leads in today.

    Final Verdict – Who Lets You Claim Most SOL?

    After testing all three, the results are clear:

    If your goal is to claim most SOL possible with minimal cost, UnclaimedSOL.com gives you the highest return rate, the lowest fees, and full transparency before you click “Claim.”

    In short – less hype, more SOL back in your wallet.

    FAQ

    1. What does “claim most SOL” mean?
    It refers to recovering the highest possible amount of rent locked in old token accounts after fees as well as low valued tokens.

    2. Is all of the above tools safe?
    Yes. They use on-chain smart instructions and signs only locally through your wallet.

    3. Can I use these tools for free?
    You pay only a small on-chain fee plus the tool’s service cut. Unclaimed SOL’s fee is currently around 5%, making it the cheapest option.

  • Close and Burn Solana Tokens: 5 Easy Steps Using web3.js

    Close and Burn Solana Tokens: 5 Easy Steps Using web3.js

    Introduction

    If you’ve been using Solana for trading, minting, or testing projects, your wallet has likely turned into a jungle of token accounts.
    Every airdrop, mint, or failed project leaves behind extra SPL token accounts — most of them empty, all of them costing rent.

    burn solana tokens

    Manually closing and burning tokens one by one takes forever, and writing the same script from scratch each time is just wasted effort.
    Fortunately, there’s a clean and secure way to burn Solana tokens in bulk while reclaiming rent automatically — using an open-source SDK from Unclaimed SOL.

    ⚙️ What Does It Mean to Burn Solana Tokens?

    On Solana, every SPL token you hold lives inside a small account called an ATA (Associated Token Account).
    Each account costs a bit of SOL to stay active.
    When a token becomes useless — maybe from an airdrop or an abandoned project — you can burn it, which means permanently removing those tokens from circulation.

    Once burned, you can close the token account, releasing the rent deposit (in SOL) back to your main wallet.
    It’s a double win: fewer tokens cluttering your wallet, and more SOL returned to you.

    ⚡ Integrate It into Your App or Trading Bot

    If you’re building a trading bot, analytics dashboard, or Solana wallet manager for users, you can easily integrate this SDK directly into your backend or UI.
    By adding a simple “Claim SOL” or “Burn Tokens” button, users can clean their wallets and reclaim rent automatically — all through your app, using their connected wallet.

    This makes your product more complete while helping users keep their balances optimized.

    🧠 Why You Should Burn Tokens Regularly

    Here’s why cleaning up your wallet and burning unused tokens actually matters:

    • 💰 Recover rent deposits: Every closed account gives you back a small amount of SOL.
    • 🧹 Stay organized: You avoid hundreds of “ghost” token accounts that confuse explorers and bots.
    • 🔒 Improve wallet safety: Fewer accounts = fewer possible errors or scam tokens.
    • ⚡ Speed up tools and bots: Cleaner wallets mean faster balance checks and smoother performance.

    If you’ve ever traded meme coins or tested multiple DeFi protocols, burning Solana tokens can easily recover a few SOL and make your wallet feel brand new again.

    🧩 The Best Way to Burn Solana Tokens in Bulk

    There’s now a simple open-source SDK that automates this process:

    👉 @unclaimedsol/spl-burn-close-sdk

    This package lets developers and power users batch burn tokens and close accounts in one go — all while keeping full control of their wallet and private keys.

    The SDK doesn’t submit or sign transactions for you; it just builds them. You decide what to burn, when to send, and which connection or wallet to use.

    🧰 Quick Setup (web3.js Example)

    1️⃣ Install the SDK

    npm install @unclaimedsol/spl-burn-close-sdk

    Make sure @solana/web3.js is already installed.

    2️⃣ Import the functions

    import { buildBurnAndCloseTransactions, PROGRAM_ID } from "@unclaimedsol/spl-burn-close-sdk";

    3️⃣ Prepare your environment

    You’ll need:

    • A Connection (to Mainnet)
    • Your Keypair or PublicKey
    • A list of token mints and corresponding ATA addresses you wish to burn and close

    4️⃣ Build transactions

    const txList = await buildBurnAndCloseTransactions(connection, ownerKeypair, mintAccounts);

    Each transaction is built according to Solana’s limits — the SDK automatically splits them into multiple batches if necessary.

    5️⃣ Sign and send

    Loop through each transaction, sign it using your wallet, and send via RPC.
    Once processed, you’ll see the SOL rent returned to your balance.

    🚀 What Happens Behind the Scenes

    • 🔥 Burns non-zero token balances
    • 🧹 Closes empty ATAs and sends rent back to your wallet
    • 💸 Sends a small 5% dev fee to Unclaimed SOL (for maintaining the SDK)
    • ⚡ Batches transactions automatically for speed and simplicity

    This SDK works perfectly for:

    • 🖥️ Backend scripts and bots
    • 🌐 Frontend dApps with Wallet Adapter
    • 🤖 Automation tools and dashboards

    🧾 Demo Repository

    You can find a working example here:
    👉 close-burn-token-account-solana


    You can view the transactions on Solscan — just switch to Legacy Mode to see every burn and close instruction clearly.

    The output often shows two or more transactions depending on how many tokens your wallet had.

    🔒 Safety Tips

    • Always be careful when burning tokens on Mainnet.
    • The SDK never sends or signs for you — you’re in full control.
    • Avoid any scripts that ask for your seed phrase or private key.
    • Use a hot wallet with no valuable assets for testing.
    • Read the SDK’s open-source code — it’s short, transparent, and easy to audit.

    💬 Why This Tool Saves Time

    If you’ve built bots or scripts for Solana, you’ve probably written token-cleaning logic more times than you’d like to admit.
    This SDK eliminates that repetition. With one clean function call, you can burn Solana tokens and close dozens of accounts in under a minute — no messy boilerplate, no trial-and-error loops.

    For developers maintaining multiple wallets or automation pipelines, this tool can literally save hours per week.

    🏁 Conclusion

    Cleaning up your wallet isn’t just about organization — it’s about efficiency and reclaiming lost value.
    With @unclaimedsol/spl-burn-close-sdk, you can easily burn Solana tokens, close their accounts, and get back your SOL rent — all while staying fully in control.

    If your wallet’s full of junk tokens from old airdrops or test mints, take five minutes to clean it up.
    A lighter wallet is a safer wallet — and sometimes, it even puts a little SOL back in your pocket.

  • How to Claim SOL – 5-Step Powerful Guide for Solana Users

    How to Claim SOL – 5-Step Powerful Guide for Solana Users

    Introduction

    If you’ve used Solana for a while — traded, minted NFTs, or tried DeFi — chances are you’ve left behind some SOL you didn’t even know about.
    Small fractions of SOL can remain locked in inactive wallets, old token accounts, or abandoned program deposits. These balances belong to you, but you must claim SOL to get them back.

    Claim SOL

    The good news? You don’t need to be a developer or blockchain expert to do it.
    In this guide, you’ll learn what “claiming SOL” really means, how to do it safely, and how to make sure you never lose track of your tokens again.

    1. What Does It Mean to Claim SOL?

    Every time you interact with a smart contract or hold a token on Solana, your wallet creates a small “token account.”
    Each of these accounts must hold a tiny amount of SOL as rent to stay active. When you no longer use those tokens — or when a DeFi program shuts down — those rent deposits remain stuck.

    When you claim SOL, you’re basically closing those unused accounts and moving their balances back into your wallet. It’s like collecting change left behind in forgotten pockets — small pieces that, when added together, can be surprisingly valuable.

    2. Why It’s Important to Claim SOL

    There are three key reasons to make claiming SOL part of your crypto routine:

    • 💰 You recover real value. Even 0.1 or 0.2 SOL adds up, especially when the price rises.
    • 🧹 You keep your wallet clean. Too many open token accounts can clutter your wallet and slow performance.
    • 🔒 You protect your funds. Fewer inactive accounts mean fewer potential points of exposure.

    Many early Solana users have found between 0.5 and 3 SOL sitting in old wallets — completely forgotten until they ran a claim scan.

    3. The Safest Way to Claim SOL

    The easiest and safest method is through Unclaimed SOL— a free tool built specifically for this purpose.
    It automates the technical parts, keeping everything fully on-chain and transparent.

    Here’s how to claim SOL safely:

    1. Go to unclaimedsol.com (if you are using mobile app wallets, enter the address in those apps, for example Phantom or Solflare).
    2. Connect your wallet — no private keys or logins required.
    3. The system scans the Solana blockchain for inactive token accounts, rent deposits, and recoverable balances.
    4. Within seconds, it lists the accounts you can claim.
    5. Click Claim and confirm the transaction in your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Ledger).

    That’s it — your claimed SOL will appear in your wallet instantly, and every step can be verified directly on Solscan.

    4. How to Verify the Claim

    Transparency is what makes this process safe. Once your claim is complete, you can look for the transaction on Solscan or Solana Explorer to can confirm exactly what happened:

    • Which token accounts were closed
    • How much SOL was returned
    • The final amount sent to your wallet

    Everything is recorded directly on the blockchain. No one ever touches your funds but you.

    This kind of verification is essential because it protects users from scams — especially fake “claim” sites or Telegram bots that promise to recover tokens but actually steal wallets.

    5. Common Mistakes When Claiming SOL

    Even though it’s simple, many users still make common errors that cost them money. Avoid these:

    • ❌ Entering private keys anywhere — you never need to do that to claim SOL.
    • ⚠️ Clicking fake links that imitate the Unclaimed SOL site.
    • 🚫 Using “claim bots” or scripts from Telegram or Discord.
    • ❗ Forgetting to double-check your wallet before confirming transactions.

    If a site asks for a seed phrase or private key, close it immediately. The legitimate process never needs it.

    6. How Often Should You Claim SOL?

    Claiming SOL isn’t a one-time action. As you interact with new projects, new rent accounts appear.
    A good practice is to:

    • Run a claim scan every few days.
    • Especially before migrating to a new wallet.
    • And after any big trading, DeFi, NFT, or airdrop activity.

    You’ll be surprised how often small amounts build up again over time.

    7. Claim SOL – Simple Action, Big Impact

    When you claim SOL, you’re not just recovering your tokens — you’re helping clean up the Solana network.
    Each closed account reduces blockchain bloat and helps keep transaction speeds high.

    It’s a small but powerful action that keeps the ecosystem healthy while putting your SOL back where it belongs: in your wallet.

    Thousands of Solana users have already used Unclaimed SOL to recover funds they didn’t even know they had. It’s quick, free, and fully transparent — exactly how crypto should be.

    Conclusion

    If you’ve never checked your wallets, now’s the time to do it.
    Visit unclaimedsol.com, connect your wallet, and run a scan. You could be sitting on more SOL than you realize.

    Don’t let your value stay trapped in forgotten accounts — claim SOL today and take back what’s already yours.

  • How to Recover Lost SOL Tokens – Full Guide 2025

    How to Recover Lost SOL Tokens – Full Guide 2025

    Introduction

    If you’ve been active in the Solana ecosystem for a while, chances are you’ve left some tokens behind and could recover lost SOL— maybe a few airdrops, small balances, or rent fees locked in closed accounts. Many Solana users are surprised to learn they have unclaimed SOL sitting unused for months or even years.

    Recover Lost SOL

    This guide explains how you can recover those funds safely using Unclaimed SOL, a free tool built to help you reclaim what’s already yours.

    1. Why SOL Gets Lost

    SOL doesn’t vanish, but it often gets “stuck” in places you forget about.
    Here are the most common reasons:

    • You removed a token from your wallet, but the token account wasn’t closed.
    • You received small airdrops and never noticed them.
    • You used multiple wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Ledger) and lost track of which one holds what.
    • You participated in old DeFi or IDO projects that locked rent deposits.

    All these small fragments of SOL can add up. In some cases, users recover 0.01 or even 2 SOL just by checking old wallets.

    2. Scanning Your Wallets

    To start, make sure you have some accounts already added to your favourite wallet such as Phantom, Solflare or Coinbase.

    Then open unclaimedsol.com and connect your wallet. The system will automatically check:

    • Inactive or closed token accounts.
    • Rent-exempt balances.
    • Old program accounts with locked lamports.
    • And much more

    Within seconds, you’ll see a total amount of SOL that is yours and which you can claim.

    3. Claiming Your SOL Safely

    If unclaimed balances are found, the site will show a “Claim” button. Clicking it and approving the transaction(s) begins a secure process that transfers the recoverable SOL back to your active wallet.

    ✅ You never enter your private key.
    ✅ No third-party access to your funds.
    ✅ All transactions happen directly on-chain through your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Ledger).

    The tool simply builds and sends the transaction for you to recover lost SOL — everything else is handled by Solana’s network.

    4. Keeping Track of What You Recovered

    After claiming, you can view a transaction summary and export a record for your personal bookkeeping on your favourite Solana explorer. This is useful if you plan to report your crypto holdings or track them for taxes.

    Most importantly, you’ll see exactly where each claim came from — old DeFi protocols, NFT mints, or token rent accounts.

    5. Avoiding Future Losses

    If you were able to recover lost SOL, take a few minutes to prevent it from happening again:

    • Keep one primary wallet for all Solana activity.
    • Periodically check your wallets using Unclaimed SOL (especially before migrating to a new wallet).
    • Bookmark trusted tools like Solscan and Solana Explorer to verify addresses.

    Even small rent deposits are worth claiming — they belong to you.

    6. Transparency

    One of the strongest points of Unclaimed SOL is transparency. Every scan, claim, and verification happens on the public Solana blockchain.
    That means you can open any transaction hash in Solscan and see exactly what occurred — which accounts were closed, how much SOL was reclaimed, and where it was sent.

    This open approach builds trust and prevents the hidden risks that often come with “recovery services” or random Telegram bots.
    Unlike centralized tools, Unclaimed SOL doesn’t touch or hold your assets — it only automates what you could technically do manually to recover lost SOL, saving you time and reducing the chance of error.

    Conclusion

    Lost SOL doesn’t mean gone forever. With tools like Unclaimed SOL, recovery is simple, safe, and fast. Whether it’s a few lamports or several tokens, every bit counts — and reclaiming them helps keep your wallet clean and efficient.

    So open your old wallets, run a scan, and take back what’s yours.
