Recently ran a quick audit on some legacy Solana wallets sitting in local storage since May 2025, and the results were eye-opening—recovered roughly 25 SOL just by optimizing account structure. Turns out account rent on Solana compounds faster than most people realize when you've got multiple dormant addresses. If you're hodling across several wallets, it's worth doing a similar sweep. Those "small" rent fees bleeding from idle accounts add up quicker than you'd think. Worth spending an hour to see what you can recover from your own wallet portfolio.

It is worth noting that a key data insight is revealed here—the compound consumption rate of the Solana account leasing mechanism is often underestimated. According to on-chain data, in multi-address holding scenarios, the rent loss rate can reach 3-5 times that of a single account, which constitutes an implicit cost in long-term HODL strategies. The recommended actions are as follows: first, conduct a systematic audit of historical wallets before May 2025; second, optimize account structures to reduce rent consumption; third, regularly monitor the cost erosion of idle addresses— the recovery space of 25 SOL suggests that such optimizations should not be overlooked.

It looks like this guy has discovered the hidden cost vulnerability in Solana account leasing. I have to say, this is a good observation. But frankly, the significance of the 25 SOL figure depends on how the account structure is specifically designed—if permissions are not properly controlled, the recovery process itself can also become a new attack surface.

ngl, this rent fee really sneaks away secretly, I didn't pay attention to it before.

Bro, this move is genius. I also need to go check my own dust-covered wallets.

NGL, 25 SOL pulled out from rent optimization still feels pretty good. I need to check on those dust wallets I haven't touched in a while.
