FAQ
Ask before
you sign.
UNRENT scans Solana wallets for SOL that is locked as rent deposit above what the network requires today, and lets you take it back in one signature flow. Your tokens stay where they are, unless you choose to burn worthless ones for their full deposit. A forecast for the coming rent steps, email alerts and a multi-wallet view are free.
Every Solana account holds a rent-exempt deposit: (128 + data size) × lamports_per_byte. SIMD-0437 lowers lamports_per_byte from 6,960 to 696 in five steps. Accounts that already exist keep the old, higher deposit. The difference is yours, and WithdrawExcessLamports pays it out without closing the account. Read Solana’s Rent on Solana is getting cheaper.
A standard token account (165 bytes) deposited 0.00203928 SOL. At step 2 (5,080 lamports per byte) 0.00055 SOL of that is excess; after step 5 it will be 0.00184 SOL. A mint (82 bytes) frees 0.00039 SOL now and 0.00132 SOL at the end. Closing an empty account returns the full deposit. Wallets with dozens of old accounts add up quickly.
Only if you ask for it. WithdrawExcessLamports only moves lamports above the rent minimum; token balances and mint supply are untouched, and empty accounts are closed. Tokens are burned only when you tick them under “Burn & close”, and the server checks every price again before it builds the transactions. Every instruction is visible in your wallet before you sign, and each transaction is simulated first.
No. UNRENT builds unsigned transactions, your wallet signs them, and the reclaimed lamports go straight from each account to your wallet in the same transaction. The service fee is a separate, visible SOL transfer at the end of that transaction. If you came through a referral link, the fee is split into two transfers; the total stays the same.
No. Paste any address and UNRENT runs a read-only scan, or check several at once on Portfolio. You only connect a wallet when you want to reclaim, or once to unlock your $UNRNT holder fee. Until then a scan shows the standard fee.
A service fee of 10% of the SOL actually returned to you, lower for $UNRNT holders (5%, 2.5%, 1% and 0% at the top tier). It applies to everything a reclaim returns: excess rent, closed empty accounts and burned dust. If nothing is recovered, nothing is charged. If you came through a referral link, 5% of the reclaimed SOL goes to the person who referred you, out of that fee; you never pay more. Solana network fees (around 0.000005 SOL per transaction plus a small priority fee) are paid by your wallet. Scans, the forecast, Portfolio and alerts cost nothing.
Both work. You can claim today and again after each future step. Each claim costs a small network fee, so for wallets with only a few accounts it can make sense to wait. UNRENT shows a forecast for every remaining step after a scan, and a rent-drop alert tells you when the next step is live.
Token accounts you own under the SPL Token program (p-token) and Token-2022: excess rent from accounts that stay open, empty accounts that can be closed, and, if you tick them, dust tokens that are burned and closed for the full deposit. Mints where your wallet is the mint authority give back their excess too. Skipped on purpose: wrapped SOL that still holds SOL, closing frozen accounts, and Token-2022 accounts with withheld transfer fees or confidential transfers. Programs, stake and vote accounts are out of scope.
A separate safeguard feature gate (SIMD-0438) can restore the original 6,960 lamports per byte if reduced rent causes excessive state growth. It is not queued on any cluster. SIMD-0392 makes sure existing accounts keep working if that happens: only new or resized accounts would pay the higher price. SOL you already reclaimed stays in your wallet.
The UNRENT membership token. Holding it lowers your reclaim fee, from 10% down to 0% at the top tier. Planned next for holders: a watchlist of 1 to 250 wallets by tier, and after every rent step an email with what each watched wallet can take back, from 0.05 SOL. Everything else works fully without it. How the token works.
After a reclaim, you can optionally swap the recovered SOL into $UNRNT in a second, separate transaction. It is never required and never changes what the plain reclaim costs. UNRENT issued this token; please read the risks on the token page first.
No. Nothing is sent back on its own. The excess stays in each account until the owner withdraws it, which is what UNRENT does for you in one signature flow.
Steps 1 (6,333) and 2 (5,080 lamports per byte) are live on mainnet since September 3 and September 11, 2026. Solana says steps 3 to 5 are delayed until Agave 4.4, expected in November 2026. Each step is its own feature gate and can be put on hold if the data does not support moving forward. See Reduced rent.
Yes. WithdrawExcessLamports always pays out everything above the rent minimum at that moment, so each new step frees more on the same account. Reclaim now, then again after step 3, 4 and 5. Each claim costs a small network fee.
The old rule charged two years of rent up front to be exempt. SIMD-0194 folded that factor into the price itself: 3,480 lamports per byte-year × 2 became the single constant 6,960 lamports per byte. SIMD-0437 now lowers that constant. See SIMD-0194.
UNRENT covers SPL Token and Token-2022 accounts and mints you control. Other programs need their own logic: Solana notes that program-owned accounts (DeFi positions, escrows, config accounts) need a reclaim instruction in that program. Stake accounts depend on the Stake v5 upgrade (SIMD-0490). Metaplex metadata and compressed NFTs are out of scope.
WithdrawExcessLamports only exists since the p-token upgrade went live on May 13, 2026, and the rent cuts started in September. Phantom, Solflare and Backpack do not offer it natively yet; you use them to sign UNRENT’s transactions.
UNRENT charges a share of what is actually recovered, lower for $UNRNT holders, and nothing if nothing is recovered. Other tools charge around 2% on the surplus. The fee is a separate, visible transfer in the same transaction, never hidden in the amounts.
No. In StonkFun’s reward mode, a Token-2022 transfer tax (1% or 3%, fixed at launch) is collected on every transfer and paid out to holders in SOL when a pot is worth distributing. Payouts depend entirely on trading volume and the launchpad’s rules. They can be zero, and they are not paid from UNRENT’s service fees.
If $UNRNT launches in StonkFun’s reward mode: yes. The transfer tax applies to every transfer on every venue, including buying, selling, sending between your own wallets and deposits to exchanges. The rate is fixed at launch and cannot be changed. The token page and the swap screen show it before you buy.
Airdrops and old swaps leave tokens behind that are worth less than selling them would cost in network fees, or have no market at all. Their account can only return its deposit once it is empty. UNRENT offers to burn those tokens (BurnChecked) and close the account in the same transaction. That returns the full deposit, 0.00203928 SOL for an account opened before the rent cut, instead of only the excess. Nothing is burned unless you tick it. $UNRNT, NFTs, frozen accounts and wrapped SOL are never offered.
Yes, if you want to. The clean-up slider adds tokens worth up to a limit ($10 by default). Selling them would return more than burning them, so the page shows their total value next to the SOL you get back. Prices come from Jupiter and are checked again when the transactions are built: a token that rose above your limit is left alone. A burn cannot be undone.
Connect your wallet on the Referral page and sign a short message (no transaction, no cost) to get your link. Every wallet that arrives through your link gives 5% of the SOL it reclaims to you, as a transfer inside its own reclaim transactions. The 5% comes out of UNRENT’s 10% service fee, so the people you invite pay exactly what everyone else pays. Only a $UNRNT holder whose fee is below 5% pays you less: never more than their own fee. A link is remembered for 30 days, and the last link opened counts. After its first reclaim through your link, a wallet stays yours for every later rent step.
You arrived through someone’s referral link. Your service fee is split: 5% of the reclaimed SOL goes to the person who referred you, the rest of the fee to the UNRENT treasury. The total is the same fee shown before you sign.
Leave your email on the homepage or after a scan. You get a confirmation link first; nothing else is sent until you confirm. After that you get one email each time a new SIMD-0437 step is live on mainnet, so you know when there is more to reclaim. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 30 days.
Yes. Portfolio scans up to 10 addresses read-only and shows the total and what each wallet holds. The addresses are remembered in your browser only. Reclaiming still happens per wallet, because each wallet has to sign its own transactions.
There is no account and UNRENT never sees your keys. For each scan we store the address, the result and a salted hash of your IP address to stop abuse; scans are deleted after a year. Reclaims are kept as business records, and they are public on-chain anyway. Your email is stored only if you sign up for alerts. Details are in the privacy policy.
Solana charges the network fee before any instruction runs, so the SOL you are about to get back cannot pay it. Your wallet needs enough SOL for the network fee of every transaction, usually far below 0.001 SOL. UNRENT checks this before you sign and tells you the exact amount if it is short.
Your share never exceeds the fee the referred wallet pays, so a $UNRNT holder with a 0% fee pays nothing. If your own wallet holds less than Solana’s minimum balance (under 0.001 SOL) and the payout alone would not lift it over, the whole fee goes to UNRENT instead of failing their reclaim; keep a little SOL in your wallet. A wallet that already reclaimed through someone else’s link stays with that referrer, and a wallet cannot refer itself.
Connect the wallet that holds $UNRNT and sign a short message once. It is not a transaction and costs nothing; it only proves the wallet is yours. A pasted address alone always shows the standard fee. From then on your tier follows the wallet’s live balance: it is read when your reclaim is built and again right before the signed transactions are sent. If the balance dropped below your tier in between, nothing is sent and you scan again at the new fee. No staking, no lock-up.
