Unlike traditional wallets, Solana accounts require rent to remain active unless they are rent-exempt. If an account has insufficient balance, it may eventually be purged from the blockchain.
Consequences of Inactive Accounts
- 🔹 SOL may be lost due to continuous rent consumption.
- 🔹 The account might get deactivated if the balance drops too low.
- 🔹 Too many inactive accounts contribute to blockchain bloat.
To avoid unnecessary fees, regularly audit and close inactive accounts using tools like SolPurge.
