Free up SOL · non-custodial
Your empty token accounts are holding your SOL.
Every token you have ever received left behind an account with a refundable deposit of about 0.002 SOL. Traders collect dozens of them. Close the empty ones, burn the dust, and the SOL comes straight back to your wallet.
How it works
- Connect and scan. A read-only look at your token accounts: which are empty, which hold dust, and what rent each one has.
- Choose. Empty accounts and dust under $0.25 are pre-selected. Untick anything you want to keep; nothing unticked is touched.
- Sign. Your wallet shows the close and burn instructions. The rent lands in your balance as soon as the transaction confirms.
Questions
What is rent?
Solana charges a refundable deposit, about 0.002 SOL, for every account that stores data. A token account is created the first time you receive a token. When you sell or send all of it, the account stays behind, empty, still holding the deposit. Closing the account returns the deposit to you.
Is this safe?
Only accounts with a zero balance are listed as empty, and only balances under $0.25 are offered for burning. NFTs and wrapped SOL are never touched. Nothing happens until you sign, you see every instruction in your wallet, and Pewcake never holds your keys.
What does burning do?
Burning destroys the leftover tokens in an account so it can be closed. It is only useful for balances that are worth less than the rent they sit on. The tokens are gone for good, so unpriced balances are left unticked for you to decide.
Can I lose anything?
You cannot lose SOL: closing returns the deposit to the wallet that pays the transaction, which is you. Burning removes tokens you selected, so check the list before you sign. If a token later becomes valuable, the burned amount does not come back.
What are pump.fun creator rewards?
Anyone who launches a token on pump.fun earns a share of every trade's fee on it, first on the bonding curve and later on the PumpSwap pool. Those fees collect in two program vaults tied to the creator wallet and stay there until claimed. Pewcake reads both vaults and claims them in the same transaction as your clean-up, unwrapping the PumpSwap part from wrapped SOL to SOL. There is no Pewcake fee on rewards.
Why is there a fee?
Pewcake keeps 3% of the SOL recovered, taken as a single transfer in the last transaction. It pays for the RPC calls that scan wallets and build transactions. There is no fee when nothing is recovered.
Why more than one signature?
A Solana transaction has a size limit. About eighteen instructions fit in one, so a wallet with a hundred empty accounts needs a handful of transactions. Wallets that support batch signing ask once for all of them.
