UNRENT

SIMD-0437 tracker

Solana rent reduction.
Step 2 of 5 is live.

Solana is cutting the rent deposit every account must hold by about 90%, in 5 steps. This page tracks where the cut stands, what comes next and what it frees in your wallet. Accounts opened before the cut keep the old deposit until you take the difference back.

01 All 5 steps

6,960 → 696.

Every account locks (128 + bytes) × lamports_per_byte. SIMD-0437 lowers that price in 5 steps, each its own feature gate. The right column is what a 165-byte token account opened before the cut can withdraw at that step.

03 Timeline

When each
step lands.

Steps activate at an epoch boundary, roughly every two days. Solana announces them in its changelog; this page also reads the rent value from mainnet itself.

  1. May 13, 2026

    p-token goes live ↗

    SIMD-0266 replaces the SPL Token program with p-token at epoch 971. It ships WithdrawExcessLamports, the instruction that pays out the extra rent.

  2. Sep 3, 2026

    Step 1: 6,333 lamports/byte ↗

    First feature gate: 9% below the original 6,960 lamports per byte.

  3. Sep 11, 2026

    Step 2: 5,080 lamports/byte ↗

    27% cumulative. About 612K SOL became reclaimable network-wide.

  4. November 2026

    Steps 3–5 with Agave 4.4 ↗

    Delayed until the next Agave release. Each step is an independent feature gate and can be held back if state growth does not support it.

  5. Only if needed

    Safeguard: SIMD-0438 ↗

    A separate feature gate that restores 6,960 lamports/byte if reduced rent causes excessive state growth. Not queued on any cluster. SIMD-0392 keeps existing accounts working if it ever activates.

Questions

What is the Solana rent reduction (SIMD-0437)?
Every Solana account must hold a deposit of (128 + data bytes) × lamports_per_byte. SIMD-0437 lowers that price from 6,960 to 696 lamports per byte in 5 feature-gated steps, about 90% cheaper in total. Step 2 is live: 5,080 lamports per byte, 27% below the original.
When is the next rent reduction step?
Step 3 (2,575 lamports per byte) and the steps after it ship with Agave 4.4, expected November 2026. Each step is its own feature gate and activates at an epoch boundary. Dates are not guaranteed: a step can be held back if state growth does not support it. This page reads the live value from mainnet, so it shows a new step as soon as it activates.
Do I get the extra SOL back automatically?
No. Existing accounts keep the deposit they were opened with. The difference to today’s minimum stays in the account until its owner withdraws it with WithdrawExcessLamports (the account stays open) or closes the account with CloseAccount (empty accounts return the whole deposit).
How much SOL does it free per token account?
A 165-byte token account opened before the cut holds 0.00204 SOL. Today 0.00055 SOL of that is extra, after step 5 it will be 0.00184 SOL. Wallets that traded a lot often have hundreds of token accounts.
Should I reclaim now or wait for the last step?
Reclaiming now loses nothing. The same account can be trimmed again after every step, and each step only frees the new difference. Waiting means fewer transactions; reclaiming now puts the SOL in your wallet today. Network fees are about 0.000005 SOL per signature either way.
Can rent go back up?
Only through SIMD-0438, a separate safeguard that restores 6,960 lamports per byte if reduced rent causes excessive state growth. It is not queued on any cluster. SIMD-0392 makes sure accounts that hold the lower deposit keep working if it ever activates.
Which accounts are affected?
All accounts get cheaper, but only token accounts and mints can pay out the extra on their own, through the token program’s WithdrawExcessLamports. Program-owned accounts (DeFi positions, escrows) need an instruction in their own program; stake accounts wait for SIMD-0490; NFT metadata and compressed NFTs have no equivalent.
Does reclaiming touch my tokens?
No. WithdrawExcessLamports only moves lamports above the rent minimum. Token balances and mint supply stay the same, and the account stays open.
