Cleanup FAQ

chevron-rightWhat does cleanup do?hashtag

Cleanup helps you reclaim SOL by identifying and closing unused token accounts freeing up storage rent.

chevron-rightIs cleanup safe?hashtag

Cleanup is 100% safe to use. It does not burn any items. Closing token accounts is a reversible operation, and resizing NFTs is sanctioned by Metaplex.

chevron-rightWhat are vacant accounts?hashtag

When purchasing tokens, NFTs, or other assets, you need to create an account for the item to live in. Once this NFT or token has been sold, transferred, and so on, this storage is left unused, and can be reclaimed. This does not burn any of your assets, and is a reversible process. It will not invalidate any airdrops.
