To avoid paying rent fees on Solana, accounts need to meet certain balance requirements to become rent-exempt. Understanding this mechanism can help you manage your funds more efficiently.
What is a Rent-Exempt Account?
A rent-exempt account is an account that holds enough SOL to permanently avoid rent charges. Once an account reaches the required balance, it will no longer consume rent, even if inactive.
How to Make an Account Rent-Exempt
- 🔹 Deposit the minimum required SOL into the account.
- 🔹 Use the Solana CLI to check if the account is rent-exempt.
- 🔹 Ensure that the balance remains above the threshold.
Rent exemption helps prevent unnecessary SOL drain while keeping accounts active.
