Solana Dust Accounts: What They Are & How to Clean Them

After trading Solana memecoins, your wallet accumulates "dust accounts" - token accounts with zero or near-zero balances that are essentially worthless. Each dust account holds rent deposits of ~0.002 SOL that you can reclaim.

            The Math: 50 dust accounts × 0.002 SOL each = 0.1 SOL (~$20 at current prices) sitting unused in your wallet.
        

What Creates Solana Dust Accounts?

Rugged memecoins - When devs pull liquidity and your tokens become worthless
Sold positions - After selling, the token account remains with 0 balance
Airdrops you sold - Free tokens you dumped leave empty accounts
Failed trades - Partial fills that left dust behind

How SURTR Works

SURTR connects to your wallet (read-only), finds all accounts with 0 token balance, and creates a single transaction to close them. The rent from each closed account goes back to you.

The tool is completely safe - it can only close accounts that have exactly 0 tokens. Your holdings are protected.

FAQs

How many dust accounts do I probably have?
Active memecoin traders often have 50-200+ dust accounts. Even casual users typically have 10-30.

Can I choose which accounts to close?
Yes, SURTR shows you a list of all empty accounts and you can select which ones to close.

What if a token pumps after I close the account?
You can always create a new token account if needed. Closing an account doesn't prevent future trading.
