Close Empty Token Accounts With Backpack Wallet

Updated · 3 min read

Backpack registers itself as a standard Solana wallet in the browser, so it appears automatically in the connect menu of web apps.

How to do it

The process is the same as with other wallets.

  1. Open the site and choose Backpack.
  2. Approve the connection.
  3. Scan, select empty accounts, and reclaim.
  4. Confirm the transaction preview.

If Backpack does not appear

Refresh the page after unlocking the extension. Wallet extensions register when the page loads, so a locked or freshly installed extension may not be detected until a reload.

Check your wallet for locked SOL

Scan any Solana address for empty token accounts and see exactly how much rent you can reclaim. Free to check, non-custodial to close.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Backpack on my phone?

Yes. Open the site from Backpack's in-app browser so the wallet can connect.
