May was a month of reach and infrastructure for Unclaimed SOL. We launched our browser extension, added support for a new p-token recovery path, received Alchemy Solana Fund credits to strengthen our RPC layer, and saw Unclaimed SOL mentioned by both CoinGecko and Uche Crypt.
557+ SOL reclaimed for users in May
Our scanners returned 557.246111159 SOL to wallet owners in May across 35,393 successful claims from 11,354 unique wallets.
That works out to 17.975681005 SOL recovered per day throughout the month.
A few May numbers worth highlighting:
- 35,393 successful claims
- 11,354 unique claiming wallets
- 0.015744529 SOL average claim size
- 0.004020096 SOL median claim size
- 17.975681005 SOL average recovered per day
The pattern stayed familiar: most claims were small rent recoveries from unused accounts, while older and more active wallets continued to pull the average upward with larger cleanup opportunities.
Unclaimed SOL Checker launched on Chrome
In May we launched the Unclaimed SOL Checker browser extension on the Chrome Web Store.
You can install it here: Unclaimed SOL Checker
The goal is simple: make it easier to check whether a Solana wallet may have reclaimable SOL without needing to remember the site or dig through old links. The extension gives users a faster route into the scan flow and keeps the same safety model as the main app: no seed phrases, no private keys, and claims still happen through wallet-signed transactions.
Alchemy backed us with Solana Fund credits
We were approved for the Alchemy Solana Fund, which gives us additional infrastructure credits as Unclaimed SOL usage grows.
We posted about it here: Alchemy Solana Fund credits announcement
For users, this matters in a very practical way. Better RPC capacity means faster scans, fewer bottlenecks during spikes, and more room for heavier wallet analysis as we continue expanding what Unclaimed SOL can detect.
Added p-token excess lamports recovery
When p-token support became relevant, we implemented WithdrawExcessLamports coverage.
This lets eligible classic p-token accounts recover lamports above the rent-exempt reserve from supported token, mint, or multisig accounts without changing token state. It is a narrow recovery path, but it fits our broader goal: keep finding categories of SOL that are already yours, but easy to miss.
Native wrapped SOL accounts are intentionally skipped for this path because the p-token instruction rejects native accounts.
Uche Crypt covered Unclaimed SOL
Uche Crypt featured Unclaimed SOL in the video “I Got $1,400 FREE Solana: Get Yours Now!”
Watch it below:
The traffic matched the attention. In May, YouTube was our biggest non-direct referrer, sending 4,603 pageviews from 2,613 visitors. That kind of coverage helps more users understand that reclaimable SOL is not an airdrop or a trick. It is often just rent, rewards, stake leftovers, or account cleanup waiting to be recovered.
CoinGecko mentioned Unclaimed SOL
CoinGecko also talked about reclaimable SOL and pointed users toward tools like Unclaimed SOL.

This was a strong trust signal for a lot of users discovering the category for the first time. Solana account rent is still confusing for many wallet owners, and education from larger crypto platforms helps explain why unused token accounts can leave SOL sitting idle.
What’s next
June is focused on making scans faster, improving reliability under heavier RPC usage, expanding the browser extension, and continuing to add recovery categories where users have real SOL stuck in places normal wallets do not surface.
