To reclaim SOL on Axiom, Trojan, BONKbot, Photon or BullX, get the bot wallet's private key or recovery phrase into a normal wallet like Phantom, then close its empty token accounts with a reclaim tool. How you get the key depends on the bot: Axiom and the Telegram bots let you export it, Photon and BullX only showed it once, and GMGN's docs say its keys can't be exported. Check the amount first with our read-only SOL reclaim estimator.
Risk notice: Crypto trading is high risk and memecoins can go to zero in minutes. Trading bots use hot wallets. This page is not financial advice; only trade what you can afford to lose.
Why bot wallets have so much SOL to reclaim
Every token you buy needs a token account, and each one holds a rent deposit. Trading bots open one the first time you buy a token, and selling your full position usually leaves it open and empty (Sol Incinerator). At about 0.00204 SOL per legacy account, 300 memecoins traded means roughly 0.61 SOL locked. Closing an account returns "all of its lamports, including its refundable minimum storage balance" (Solana docs). Background: Solana rent explained.
Reclaim tools connect to normal wallets, not to bots. So the job has two parts: get the key into a wallet, then run the cleanup.
Before you start: move your funds
Exporting a key puts it in a second place where it can leak. BONKbot said the victims of a March 2024 wallet drain had all exported their keys and imported them elsewhere (Decrypt). So:
- Withdraw your trading SOL and tokens you want to keep to another wallet first.
- Import only into an official wallet app (Phantom, Solflare, Jupiter Mobile) downloaded from the real source.
- Never paste a key or recovery phrase into a website, including a reclaim tool. Tools only need you to connect and sign.
How to reclaim SOL on Axiom
Axiom's sign-up docs say: "We show you your seed phrase so that at any time, you can recover your wallets," and "Access your recovery phrase at any time in your settings!" Axiom also recommends importing that phrase "into a standard wallet like Phantom, Rabby, Solflare".
- Open your Axiom settings and reveal your recovery phrase. Never share it.
- Import the phrase into Phantom or Solflare.
- Check that the wallet address in Phantom matches the Axiom wallet you trade from. If you use several Axiom wallets, confirm each one.
- Connect that wallet to a reclaim tool and close the empty accounts.
More on the terminal in our Axiom review.
How to reclaim SOL on Trojan
Sol Incinerator's Trojan guide lists the steps:
- In the Trojan Telegram bot, send
/start. - Go to Settings → Wallets, pick your wallet (default W1), then Export Private Keys and Show Private Keys.
- Import the key into Phantom, Solflare or Jupiter Mobile.
- Run the cleanup.
Trojan also offers a Secure Action Password for sensitive actions; see our Trojan review.
How to reclaim SOL on BONKbot
Per Sol Incinerator's BONKbot guide: send /start, tap Wallet, choose Export Seed Phrase and confirm, then import into a wallet app and run the cleanup. Details in our BONKbot review.
How to reclaim SOL on Photon
Photon "displays your private key only once during the initial wallet creation", and "if you did not save it at that time, there is no method to retrieve it later" (Sol Incinerator). If you saved it, import it into Phantom and run the cleanup. If you didn't, outside tools can't close those accounts. See our Photon review.
How to reclaim SOL on BullX
BullX paused trading on June 1, 2026 while keeping wallet access open (crypto.news). Claim Your Sol's BullX guide says you need the wallet's private key, "which is only available to download for 48h upon wallet creation". With the key, import it into Phantom and reclaim. Replacements for BullX are in BullX alternatives.
Can you reclaim SOL on GMGN?
Possibly not with outside tools. GMGN's wallet docs state that all its chains "are prohibited from exporting private keys", and that imported wallets "also can't export private keys". GMGN's Q&A page still refers to importing and exporting keys. Check the Wallet section of your GMGN bot as of today. Without the key, a reclaim tool can't sign the closing transactions. We found no built-in rent reclaim feature in GMGN's docs. Our GMGN review covers its wallet model.
Step 2: close the empty accounts
Once the wallet is in Phantom or Solflare, use a tool from our best SOL reclaim tools ranking:
| Tool | Fee on token accounts (checked September 26, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Sol Incinerator | About 2%; default mode only closes empty accounts |
| Sol-Cleaner | Not published on its site |
| RefundYourSOL | 15% default, 1.85% with its fee match; Fee Payer mode for wallets with zero SOL |
| Your Free SOL | Reclaim rate not published; burn and close 4%-5% |
| Claim Your Sol | 5% |
| Unclaimed SOL | 2%, with a public audit |
The order follows our ranking, which is an editors' pick, not a sort by fee. We earn a commission if you sign up through some links on this page. Fees per Sol Incinerator, Sol-Cleaner, RefundYourSOL, Your Free SOL, Claim Your Sol and Unclaimed SOL. Use close-only mode, and don't burn tokens a bot might still be trading. The free CLI route is in how to reclaim SOL. For most wallets we'd start with Sol Incinerator; our Sol Incinerator review covers its fee, modes and the clone sites to avoid. For alternatives, see our Sol-Cleaner review and YourFreeSOL review.
Safety: fake "reclaim" links target bot traders
Drainers know memecoin traders have empty accounts. PCrisk has documented fake reclaim sites, including refundyoursol[.]io, solreclaimer[.]xyz and a Sol Incinerator clone at sol-incinerator[.]tax, that drain wallets on connection (PCrisk; PCrisk). Scam Sniffer has tracked Solana drainers using phishing NFTs airdropped with fake links (Scam Sniffer).
- Check the URL yourself; ignore links in Telegram groups, DMs, replies and token names.
- Ignore airdropped "claim" tokens and NFTs.
- Test on the emptied bot wallet first, not your main wallet.
- Read what you sign. Closing should only send SOL to you. Reject transfers elsewhere or ownership changes.
- Never share a seed phrase or private key with a site, bot or "support" account.
