Burn Solana NFTs and Reclaim Rent
Burn unwanted NFTs and close the empty accounts left behind by ones you already sold, taking back the SOL.
Wallet not connected
Connect your wallet to clear out unwanted NFTs and reclaim your rent. You sign every action yourself, and nothing is custodial.
How to burn Solana NFTs and reclaim rent
- Connect your wallet. The tool lists the NFT accounts it finds, including the empty ones left behind by NFTs you no longer hold.
- Look at what is pre-selected. Only empty accounts are ticked, and those are the accounts of NFTs you already sold or sent away, so closing them destroys nothing.
- Tick any NFT you actually want destroyed. Nothing you still hold is ever selected for you.
- Check floor prices for anything you are unsure about. Burning is permanent, and a forgotten NFT is not always a worthless one.
- Approve in your wallet. The reclaimed SOL goes back to your own address.
Common questions
Why do I have empty NFT accounts at all?
Because selling or sending an NFT moves the NFT but leaves its account behind, still holding about 0.002 SOL of refundable rent. Nobody cleans these up automatically. If you have traded NFTs for any length of time you may have dozens sitting there, and closing them costs you nothing because they hold nothing.
Can I get a burned NFT back?
No. It is destroyed on-chain and cannot be recovered by us, by you, by a marketplace, or by the project that made it. There is no undo and no support route. If you are not certain something is worthless, check its floor price before ticking it.
Will it burn NFTs I still want?
Only ones you tick yourself. The pre-selected rows are exclusively the empty accounts, where the NFT is already gone. Anything you still hold requires a deliberate tick from you, because that is the difference between tidying up and destroying something.
Is this safe? I have heard of fake burn sites.
The suspicion is well founded, and fake incinerators are a common drainer disguise. What happens here: the tool builds one transaction that burns exactly what you ticked and closes those accounts, your wallet shows it to you, and you approve it. The SOL goes to your own address. We never hold your keys and cannot alter the transaction after you have seen it.
How much SOL do I get back per NFT?
About 0.002 SOL for each account closed. That is small individually and adds up across a wallet full of dead mints and sold NFTs. The tool totals it before you sign so you can decide whether the clean-up is worth doing at all.
Why is the fee a percentage of what I reclaim?
Because a flat fee makes no sense on amounts this small. A clean-up that returns a fraction of a SOL cannot sensibly carry the same charge as a token deploy. Taking a share of the recovery means you always end up net positive and we are paid nothing when there is nothing to recover.
Two different jobs on one page
This tool does two things that feel similar and are not, so it is worth keeping them apart in your head before you start ticking boxes.
- Closing empty accounts. Pure clean-up. Every NFT you have ever sold or sent away left its account behind, holding about 0.002 SOL of your money for an NFT that is not there. Closing these destroys nothing and returns the deposit. These are the rows ticked for you.
- Burning NFTs you still hold. Destruction. The NFT ceases to exist and the account closes, returning its rent. Nothing here is ever selected automatically, because the consequence is permanent.
Before you burn something you own
Check the floor price. It takes thirty seconds and it is the difference between a tidy wallet and an expensive story. Collections people wrote off have recovered, and a wallet full of forgotten mints occasionally contains one that did.
Worth knowing too: burning is not hiding. There is no way to make an NFT stop appearing in your wallet without destroying it, and destruction is visible on-chain forever. If your goal is simply not to look at something, most wallets can hide it without burning anything.
Why an incinerator page deserves suspicion
Sites offering to burn your NFTs for a reward are one of the most common wallet drainer disguises, and you should be sceptical of this one until you have checked it. The check is straightforward: when your wallet shows you the transaction, it should burn exactly the mints you ticked, close exactly those accounts, and send the SOL to your own address. If a transaction ever contains anything else, on any site, reject it.
