SealGuardSol Incinerator alternative: what SealGuard does differently
Sol Incinerator is the best-known way to close empty Solana token accounts and take back the rent, and it has done it since 2021. SealGuard does that too, but it starts from a different question: is this wallet safe? Here is a plain comparison, so you can pick the one that fits.
The scan is free and read-only. Nothing is sent until you approve it in your wallet.
The short version
- Only want the rent back, at the lowest fee? Sol Incinerator lists about 0.00004 SOL per standard account, roughly 2% of the rent. SealGuard charges 5% of the rent returned.
- Want to know who can still move your tokens, too? SealGuard checks open approvals, phishing airdrops, Token-2022 permanent delegates, stake and nonce accounts someone else controls, and whether the wallet account itself has been taken over, in the same scan.

"Not checked by us" means we didn't verify it, not that it's missing.
What SealGuard leaves alone
Closing an account can't cost you tokens: only empty accounts can be closed. The one cost is paying the rent again if that token comes back. So SealGuard leaves these unticked and says why: tokens you'll likely receive again (USDC, USDT, PYUSD, wrapped SOL, SKR, JUP, BONK, JitoSOL, mSOL) and accounts used in the last 30 days.
Free options
Some wallets can close empty accounts themselves; look in your wallet's settings. If you use the Solana command line, spl-token close and spl-token gc do it for free. SealGuard is for when you also want the security check, or don't want to hunt through each account yourself.
Questions
Is it safe to connect my wallet?
Connecting shares only your public address. SealGuard never asks for a seed phrase, can't send anything without your signature, and its code is public.
Can I just look without connecting?
Yes. Paste any address to see the report; connect only when you want to fix something.
