Hello everybody! Today, I’m going to show you how you can use Sol Incinerator to reclaim SOL from your dead accounts. Here it is:

When you are trading on Solana, especially trading meme coins through platforms like pump fun, you create token accounts for each token you interact with. Each of these accounts requires a creation cost of 0.002 SOL. While that may seem minimal, it really adds up if you have hundreds of dead accounts!

Let me guide you through it:

First, I connected my wallet to Sol Incinerator. It subsequently loaded up all my token addresses once connected. I went over to the “tokens” section since these are mainly meme coins we are dealing with. Then I clicked on “vacant accounts” to see what I could reclaim.

For me, I got 12 accounts open, so I can reclaim 0.024 SOL back, because each account returns 0.002 SOL. What is more amazing is that this little magic tool checks if these accounts are really empty-some of the similar tools don’t do so for security; in fact, it can be dangerous.

Just to explain what happens behind the scenes: every time you trade a new token on Solana, it creates something called a token account. When you look at holder distributions on pump fun, what you’re actually seeing isn’t wallets, but token accounts. Each token account is where your tokens for that specific contract are deposited, and your wallet address owns these token accounts.

I went ahead and initiated the clean-up process. Important note: this process cannot be reversed! After confirming the transaction, I got my 0.024 SOL back into my account. I double-checked the transaction to make sure everything went through correctly.

This is such an easy way to get some free SOL back. If you’ve been trading for some time and you didn’t know about this, you could literally have one or two SOL’s worth of just token accounts dangling around!
