Solana charges rent for non-exempt accounts, which means that inactive accounts with low balances may gradually drain SOL over time.
How Rent Works
- 🔹 Accounts with balances below a threshold must pay rent periodically.
- 🔹 Rent-exempt accounts don’t need to pay fees as long as they meet the balance requirement.
- 🔹 Once an account’s balance drops too low, it may be permanently removed.
How to Avoid Rent Fees
To avoid paying unnecessary fees, ensure that your accounts hold enough SOL to qualify for rent exemption or close them when they’re no longer needed.
Managing your wallet properly helps you save SOL in the long run.
