# Reclaim Your SOL

> Burn empty token accounts and recover locked rent

Every token account on Solana locks \~0.002 SOL in rent. If you've traded in multiple pools, you probably have empty accounts sitting there. Burn them and get your SOL back.

## What You'll Unlock

* SOL that's currently locked in empty token accounts
* A cleaner wallet with fewer unused accounts
* More capital for your next trade

## Why This Matters

**The math:** Each empty token account locks \~0.002 SOL.

* 50 empty accounts = 0.1 SOL locked
* 100 empty accounts = 0.2 SOL locked
* 500 empty accounts = 1 SOL locked

That's money that could be earning fees for you.
