How BurnerSOL works

BurnerSOL is designed to help Solana users identify unused token accounts, review eligible cleanup actions, and recover locked SOL rent through a wallet-controlled, non-custodial workflow.

Step 1: Connect your Solana wallet

Start by connecting a supported Solana wallet. BurnerSOL reads the wallet address so it can inspect associated token accounts and determine which accounts may be eligible for cleanup.

Step 2: Scan for unused token accounts

After connection, the app scans token accounts linked to the wallet. The goal is to identify unused, empty, or clutter-causing accounts that may still hold rent-exempt SOL.

Step 3: Review accounts before action

Users should review all suggested accounts carefully. This is the safety checkpoint where you confirm what you want to burn, what you want to close, and whether the expected SOL recovery makes sense.

Step 4: Approve transactions in your own wallet

BurnerSOL prepares transactions, but approval should happen in your wallet. This keeps the process non-custodial and gives the user direct visibility into what is being signed.

Step 5: Recover SOL rent

When eligible empty accounts are successfully closed, the rent-exempt SOL locked in those accounts can be returned to the wallet owner. The exact amount depends on the wallet’s current account state and the accounts selected.

Important safety note

Blockchain actions are irreversible once confirmed on-chain. Users should never approve a transaction they do not understand and should never disclose seed phrases or private keys to any website, app, or support channel.
