      <title>Recover More SOL with Swap &amp; Close on SOLClaimer.app</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  Recover More SOL with Swap &amp;amp; Close on SOLClaimer.app
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a long time, most tools on Solana only allowed users to burn empty token accounts to reclaim the small rent deposit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It works… but it leaves a lot of value behind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the new Swap &amp;amp; Close feature on SOLClaimer.app, you can now automatically recover even more SOL from unused token accounts.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 How It Works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Instead of simply burning leftover tokens for a tiny rent refund, you can now:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Swap leftover tokens → SOL (powered by Jupiter routing)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Automatically close the token account after the swap&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recover both the swap value and the rent deposit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No extra steps. Just more SOL back in your wallet.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  💡 Real Example
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During a recent wallet cleanup:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Swapped 0.087 USDC → SOL&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Closed the token account&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recovered an additional 0.002 SOL from rent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💰 Total recovered = swap value + rent refund&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Small balances spread across multiple wallets add up quickly — and most users don’t realize how much SOL is locked in unused token accounts.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ⚡ Why This Matters
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unused token accounts quietly hold recoverable SOL through rent deposits. Traditional cleanup tools only reclaim part of that value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Swap &amp;amp; Close ensures you recover everything possible:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Token value ✅&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rent deposit ✅&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Minimal user effort ✅&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔥 Swap it. Close it. Recover it.
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stop leaving SOL behind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Its listed on Phantom: &lt;a href="https://phantom.com/apps/solclaimer" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://phantom.com/apps/solclaimer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Announcing Swap &amp; Close on SOLClaimer.app — Powered by Jupiter</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;For a long time, most tools only let you burn empty token accounts to reclaim the small rent deposit on Solana. That works… but it leaves a lot of value behind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the new &lt;strong&gt;Swap &amp;amp; Close&lt;/strong&gt; feature on &lt;strong&gt;SOLClaimer.app&lt;/strong&gt;, you can now recover even more SOL automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 How it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Instead of simply burning leftover tokens for a tiny rent refund, you can now:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Swap leftover tokens → SOL (powered by Jupiter routing)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Automatically close the token account after the swap&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Recover both the swap value &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; the rent deposit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That means more SOL back in your wallet with zero extra steps.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  💡 Example from a recent cleanup
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Swapped &lt;strong&gt;0.087 USDC → SOL&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Closed the token account&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recovered an additional &lt;strong&gt;0.002 SOL&lt;/strong&gt; from rent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;💰 &lt;strong&gt;Total recovered: swap value + rent refund&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔍 Why this matters
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Small balances across multiple wallets add up quickly — and most users don’t realize how much SOL is locked in unused token accounts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔥 Take action
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swap it. Close it. Recover it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stop leaving SOL behind. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Its an official Phantom App: &lt;a href="https://phantom.com/apps/solclaimer" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://phantom.com/apps/solclaimer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>🚀 960.80 SOL Claimed in Just 90 Days — Here’s How Users Are Recovering Lost SOL on Solana</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:59:51 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/blockexperts/96080-sol-claimed-in-just-90-days-heres-how-users-are-recovering-lost-sol-on-solana-4jpi</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/blockexperts/96080-sol-claimed-in-just-90-days-heres-how-users-are-recovering-lost-sol-on-solana-4jpi</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you’ve used Solana for a while, there’s a good chance you’re sitting on &lt;strong&gt;lost SOL&lt;/strong&gt; without realizing it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not lost as in “forgot seed phrase” — lost as in &lt;strong&gt;locked inside empty accounts and unused tokens&lt;/strong&gt; that quietly drain your wallet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over the past 90 days alone, users have recovered &lt;strong&gt;960.801011 SOL&lt;/strong&gt; by cleaning up their wallets using &lt;strong&gt;claimyoursols.app&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s break down what’s happening, why it works, and how you can reclaim your SOL too.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🧠 The Problem: SOL Locked in Unused Accounts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Solana, many actions create on-chain accounts:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Token accounts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NFT-related accounts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Program-generated accounts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even when these accounts hit &lt;strong&gt;zero balance&lt;/strong&gt;, they still hold &lt;strong&gt;rent-exempt SOL&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That SOL stays locked unless you &lt;strong&gt;close or burn&lt;/strong&gt; the account.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Multiply that by hundreds (or thousands) of accounts, and suddenly you’re leaking real value.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔧 The Solution: Reclaim What’s Already Yours
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;claimyoursols.app&lt;/strong&gt; helps you recover SOL by safely interacting with the Solana blockchain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What it does:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  ✅ Close zero-balance accounts
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each closed account returns approximately &lt;strong&gt;~0.002 SOL&lt;/strong&gt; back to your wallet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  🔥 Burn unwanted tokens
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Old airdrops, spam tokens, abandoned projects — burning them also unlocks &lt;strong&gt;~0.002 SOL per token&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All actions are executed &lt;strong&gt;on-chain&lt;/strong&gt;, and your wallet remains fully in control the entire time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;💡 Your SOL never leaves your wallet — the Solana blockchain enforces the reclaim.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📊 Real Numbers (Last 90 Days)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Total Accounts Closed:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;code&gt;470,980&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Total SOL Recovered:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;code&gt;960.801011 SOL&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s not hype — that’s on-chain activity.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🪪 How It Works (Step by Step)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Select your wallet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Connect using a standard Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scan for reclaimable accounts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The app detects zero-balance accounts and burnable tokens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Confirm transactions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You approve everything — nothing happens without your signature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Receive SOL instantly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Recovered SOL goes straight back into your wallet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  💸 Bonus: Earn 50% Referral Rewards
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There’s also a referral program built in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Share your &lt;strong&gt;unique referral link&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Earn &lt;strong&gt;50% bonus&lt;/strong&gt; on each successful referral&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fully transparent tracking&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;👉 Click &lt;strong&gt;“Get Your Link”&lt;/strong&gt; inside the app to start earning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔐 Security &amp;amp; Transparency
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✔ Non-custodial&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✔ No private keys ever shared&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✔ Transactions visible on Solana explorers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✔ Wallet-controlled at all times&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you trust Solana programs, you already trust this process.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🧹 Final Thoughts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wallet hygiene matters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’ve been:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Minting NFTs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Farming airdrops&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Testing dApps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trading SPL tokens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;…you almost certainly have reclaimable SOL waiting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check once. Recover forever.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🔗 &lt;strong&gt;claimyoursols.app&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>What's SOLClaimer.app?</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Claim Free SOL + Create SPL/SPL22 Tokens With SOLClaimer.app
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever interacted with Solana for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve left some &lt;strong&gt;SOL locked for rent&lt;/strong&gt; in old accounts. Most users don’t even realize this balance can be reclaimed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s exactly what &lt;strong&gt;SOLClaimer.app&lt;/strong&gt; helps you do — safely, quickly, and with zero hassle.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ✅ What Is SOLClaimer.app?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOLClaimer.app&lt;/strong&gt; scans your wallet for &lt;strong&gt;rent-exempt SOL&lt;/strong&gt; that can be withdrawn from closed or unused accounts.&lt;br&gt;
No scripts. No terminals. Just connect, check, and claim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It also includes tools to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Create &lt;strong&gt;SPL&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;strong&gt;SPL22&lt;/strong&gt; tokens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Mint tokens instantly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Run community &lt;strong&gt;airdrops&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Adjust supply or metadata&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;✅ Manage everything in a clean UI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s built to feel simple and human — not like a bot or a dev console.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔥 Powered by claimyoursols.app
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SOLClaimer runs on the same engine behind &lt;strong&gt;claimyoursols.app&lt;/strong&gt;, which has already:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Closed 89k+ accounts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recovered 184 SOL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Proof&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;a href="https://solscan.io/account/GzZ5vVT2awie1LkgFXiMFGqfA7YtzKUFAvK14v8cazGk?cluster=tx" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://solscan.io/account/GzZ5vVT2awie1LkgFXiMFGqfA7YtzKUFAvK14v8cazGk?cluster=tx&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🪙 Why It Matters
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solana’s rent-exemption system leaves a lot of tiny, forgotten accounts. Over time, these balances add up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With SOLClaimer.app, you can:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reclaim SOL that’s already yours&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clean up old accounts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Save time over CLI/manual methods&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Launch tokens without deep technical knowledge&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s one of the most practical Solana tools out there.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Try It Now
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Check how much SOL you can reclaim and start creating/minting tokens today:&lt;/p&gt;

  🚀 My Solana Account Cleanup Tool: 200+ Accounts Closed Today!
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built a tool to help clean up unused Solana accounts, and today we hit a milestone: &lt;strong&gt;over 200 unused accounts closed with 0.48 SOL total volume reclaimed&lt;/strong&gt;! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why This Matters
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Get Your SOL Back&lt;/strong&gt;: Reclaim locked funds from unused token accounts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Network Optimization&lt;/strong&gt;: Reduce blockchain state bloat &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Better Performance&lt;/strong&gt;: Help validators run more efficiently&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How It Works

&lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://claimyoursols.app" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;claimyoursols.app&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Connect your wallet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scan for closeable accounts
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Close unused accounts (empty accounts, unwanted tokens, test tokens you created)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reclaim your locked SOL&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you can close:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Empty token accounts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tokens you no longer need&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Test tokens you created during development&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Unwanted airdropped tokens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Solana Hold Your Funds, Claim Them Now?</title>

  Solana Hold Your Funds, Redeem Them Now?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a developer coming from the Ethereum blockchain, where I've built numerous apps, one key difference I noticed is that Ethereum accounts do not require specific storage for tokens. Your wallet address handles everything native ETH, ERC20 tokens, and NFTs. However, after diving into Solana development for nearly two years, I’ve discovered something unique and worth discussing: &lt;strong&gt;rent&lt;/strong&gt; on Solana. What is it, and can you get it back? Let's explain it in simple terms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tokens on Ethereum vs. Solana
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Ethereum, the ecosystem revolves around three main types of tokens:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Native ETH&lt;/strong&gt;: Used to pay for gas and governance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;ERC20&lt;/strong&gt;: Fungible tokens for projects like stablecoins or utility tokens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;NFTs&lt;/strong&gt;: Unique, non-fungible tokens for digital collectibles or assets.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you create an Ethereum wallet, you get a single address that can receive all types of tokens directly—no extra setup needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solana, however, works differently. It also has three main token types:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;SOL&lt;/strong&gt;: The native token for transaction fees and governance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;SPL Tokens&lt;/strong&gt;: Solana’s equivalent to ERC20, used for fungible tokens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;SPL Token-2022&lt;/strong&gt;: An advanced version of SPL tokens with extra features like:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Metadata extensions&lt;/strong&gt;: Add details like token name or description.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Transfer hooks&lt;/strong&gt;: Custom logic for token transfers (e.g., restricting transfers).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unlike Ethereum, Solana requires you to create a specific account to hold tokens, called an &lt;strong&gt;Associated Token Account (ATA)&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What’s an ATA and Why Does It Matter?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Solana, when you want to receive an SPL token, you can’t just use your wallet’s public key like on Ethereum. Instead, you need an &lt;strong&gt;Associated Token Account (ATA)&lt;/strong&gt;, which is a special account derived from:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your wallet’s public key.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The token’s mint address (the unique identifier for that token).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To create an ATA, you must deposit a small amount of SOL (typically ~0.002 SOL) to “reserve” storage space on the Solana blockchain. This SOL is essentially a rent-like fee to maintain the account. Without an ATA, you can’t hold or receive SPL tokens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, if you want to receive a specific token (say, a stablecoin on Solana), you’ll need to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create an ATA for that token.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deposit a small amount of SOL to cover the rent.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This SOL is locked in the ATA as long as the account exists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Rent Concept: What’s Locked and Why?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Solana, all data is stored in accounts, and each account requires a minimum balance of SOL (in lamports, where 1 SOL = 1 billion lamports) proportional to the amount of data it stores. This balance is called &lt;strong&gt;rent&lt;/strong&gt;, but it’s more like a refundable deposit—it’s not spent or burned, just held by the Solana blockchain to maintain the account’s storage. This ensures efficient resource management on the network. For more details on how rent is calculated, check out the &lt;a href="https://solana.com/de/docs/core/accounts#rent" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;official Solana documentation on rent&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The good news? You can reclaim this SOL when you no longer need the account.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Reclaim Your SOL
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you’re done using a specific token (e.g., you’ve transferred all the tokens out of the ATA), you can close the account and recover the locked SOL. Here are three ways to do it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using the Solana CLI&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
   Run this command to close an ATA and reclaim the SOL:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;   solana account &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--close&lt;/span&gt; &amp;lt;ATA_ADDRESS&amp;gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--recipient&lt;/span&gt; &amp;lt;YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS&amp;gt;
This sends the locked SOL back to your wallet.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using Web3.js&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you prefer coding, you can use Solana’s Web3.js library to close an ATA programmatically. Here’s an example:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight javascript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;   &lt;span class="k"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;closeAccount&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;@solana/web3.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;span class="k"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;Connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;PublicKey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;Keypair&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;@solana/web3.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

   &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;Connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;payer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;Keypair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;fromSecretKey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="cm"&gt;/* your secret key */&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;accountToClose&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;PublicKey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;/* ATA address */&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;destination&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nc"&gt;PublicKey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;/* your wallet address */&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

   &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;transaction&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;closeAccount&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;span class="nx"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;span class="nx"&gt;payer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Your keypair&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;span class="nx"&gt;accountToClose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// ATA public key&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;span class="nx"&gt;destination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Your wallet public key&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;span class="nx"&gt;payer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Authority (usually the payer)&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using a Web3 Tool&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
For a user-friendly option, visit a trusted service like &lt;a href="https://claimyoursols.app" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Claim Your SOLs&lt;/a&gt;. This tool will scan all your open accounts and give you the ability to close them, returning your locked SOL.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F2oncg6wigsfyggwbsp98.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F2oncg6wigsfyggwbsp98.png" alt="Claim Your Tokens with https://claimyoursols.app" width="800" height="841"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why This Matters?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understanding Solana’s rent system and ATAs is crucial for developers building on the platform. Here are some key takeaways:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cost Management&lt;/strong&gt;: Creating ATAs requires SOL, so factor this into your app’s user experience. You might need to guide users to deposit SOL or automate ATA creation in your dApp.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;User Experience&lt;/strong&gt;: Solana users may be surprised they can’t receive tokens without an ATA. Educate them or handle ATA creation seamlessly in your app.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Reclaiming Funds&lt;/strong&gt;: Closing unused ATAs can save users small amounts of SOL, which adds up, especially for apps with frequent token interactions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Final Thoughts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solana’s rent system and ATAs make its token management unique compared to Ethereum. While it might seem like extra work to create and close ATAs, it’s a small price to pay for Solana’s high-speed, low-cost transactions. Plus, the ability to reclaim locked SOL ensures you’re not losing funds unnecessarily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re building on Solana, embrace the ATA system and explore tools to simplify the process. Have you encountered Solana’s rent system in your projects? Share your thoughts or tips in the comments!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Why Bitcoin Was Created?</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 02 Aug 2025 08:50:52 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/blockexperts/why-bitcoin-was-created-4lc5</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/blockexperts/why-bitcoin-was-created-4lc5</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;To understand the importance of Bitcoin, we need to go back to the period after World War II, when the Allied nations came together to rebuild the global financial system.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  &lt;strong&gt;The Bretton Woods Agreement (1944)&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwp3dvrh97k3xlsn4u3dv.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwp3dvrh97k3xlsn4u3dv.png" alt="The Bretton Woods Agreement" width="600" height="423"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;July 1944&lt;/strong&gt;, representatives from &lt;strong&gt;44 allied nations&lt;/strong&gt; met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to design a new framework for international trade and monetary stability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Two competing proposals emerged:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  &lt;strong&gt;🇬🇧 United Kingdom (Keynes Plan)&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create a new international currency called the &lt;strong&gt;Bancor&lt;/strong&gt;, not tied to any single nation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Establish an &lt;strong&gt;International Clearing Union (ICU)&lt;/strong&gt; to manage trade balances.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Require both debtor and creditor nations to adjust trade imbalances.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Allow more flexible exchange rates to avoid deflationary pressures.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  &lt;strong&gt;🇺🇸 United States (White Plan)&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create a system of &lt;strong&gt;fixed exchange rates&lt;/strong&gt; tied to the U.S. dollar, convertible to gold at $35 per ounce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Establish the &lt;strong&gt;International Monetary Fund (IMF)&lt;/strong&gt; to help countries with short-term balance-of-payments issues.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Establish the &lt;strong&gt;International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)&lt;/strong&gt; — later part of the &lt;strong&gt;World Bank&lt;/strong&gt; — to finance post-war rebuilding.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make the &lt;strong&gt;U.S. dollar&lt;/strong&gt; the central reserve currency.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;The U.S. proposal prevailed — largely because America held &lt;strong&gt;about 50% of the world’s gold reserves&lt;/strong&gt; at the time.&lt;br&gt;
This meant the &lt;strong&gt;dollar was backed by gold&lt;/strong&gt;, and all other major currencies were pegged to the dollar at fixed rates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fu4hys14oaf4cgzaezj6i.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fu4hys14oaf4cgzaezj6i.png" alt="gold us reserve" width="499" height="470"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  &lt;strong&gt;The Collapse of the Gold Standard&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This system brought stability for decades… until &lt;strong&gt;1971&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That year, U.S. President &lt;strong&gt;Richard Nixon&lt;/strong&gt; ended the dollar’s convertibility to gold — effectively &lt;strong&gt;ending the gold standard&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From that moment:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All major currencies became &lt;strong&gt;fiat money&lt;/strong&gt; (not backed by a physical asset).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inflation rose.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Monetary policy became increasingly centralized.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the years that followed, concerns about &lt;strong&gt;centralized monetary control&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;inflation&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;financial surveillance&lt;/strong&gt; continued to grow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F29ax28vei1w82oqzilya.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F29ax28vei1w82oqzilya.png" alt="Inflation rise year by year" width="800" height="724"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  &lt;strong&gt;Pre-Bitcoin Attempts at Digital Money&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before Bitcoin, several digital currency projects tried to create alternatives to government-issued money:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Year&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Reason for Failure&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E-gold&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1996&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Gold-backed digital currency&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shut down (2009): legal issues&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liberty Reserve&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2006&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Anonymous USD/EUR transfers&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shut down (2013): money laundering&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DigiCash&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1989&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Privacy-focused digital cash&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bankrupt (1998): no adoption&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GoldMoney (P2P)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2001&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Gold as digital money&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;P2P disabled: regulation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All these systems were &lt;strong&gt;centralized&lt;/strong&gt; and therefore vulnerable to &lt;strong&gt;government shutdowns&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;regulatory crackdowns&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  &lt;strong&gt;The Birth of Bitcoin (2009)&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fchhfvy9vee6wcnjds2gy.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fchhfvy9vee6wcnjds2gy.png" alt="The Birth of Bitcoin (2009)" width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;2009&lt;/strong&gt;, an anonymous figure known as &lt;strong&gt;Satoshi Nakamoto&lt;/strong&gt; introduced &lt;strong&gt;Bitcoin&lt;/strong&gt; — the first truly decentralized digital currency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unlike earlier attempts, Bitcoin:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is &lt;strong&gt;not controlled&lt;/strong&gt; by any government or corporation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Operates on a &lt;strong&gt;transparent, public blockchain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is &lt;strong&gt;borderless&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;censorship-resistant&lt;/strong&gt;, and has a &lt;strong&gt;limited supply&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bitcoin was designed as an &lt;strong&gt;alternative to inflationary, centralized fiat money&lt;/strong&gt; — offering a &lt;strong&gt;trustless&lt;/strong&gt;, peer-to-peer financial system.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How do some dApps pretend to have verified contracts when they don't?</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 27 Jul 2025 13:42:27 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/blockexperts/stay-safe-why-you-should-always-verify-both-proxy-and-implementation-contracts-49p4</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/blockexperts/stay-safe-why-you-should-always-verify-both-proxy-and-implementation-contracts-49p4</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently, I started interacting with many DApps for DeFi, airdrops, or NFT exchanges. I noticed that most of the time, DApps are marked as &lt;strong&gt;"contract verified"&lt;/strong&gt;, but in many cases, &lt;strong&gt;only the proxy contract is verified—not the implementation&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What does that actually mean? And is the contract truly verified in such cases?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s break it down below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;let's start with some context:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The concept of &lt;strong&gt;upgradable smart contracts&lt;/strong&gt; on Ethereum began emerging around 2017, with more formal and secure patterns being adopted by 2018.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many decentralized applications (DApps) started using this pattern to prevent and mitigate vulnerabilities that could appear in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What Are Upgradable Smart Contracts?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upgradable smart contracts&lt;/strong&gt; follow a simple architecture:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;proxy contract&lt;/strong&gt; holds the data (storage)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An &lt;strong&gt;implementation contract&lt;/strong&gt; contains the business logic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you deploy the proxy, it stays fixed. However, you can &lt;strong&gt;upgrade&lt;/strong&gt; the implementation contract at any time—&lt;strong&gt;without changing the proxy address&lt;/strong&gt; or notifying users. This makes upgrades seamless, but also &lt;strong&gt;potentially dangerous&lt;/strong&gt;: a malicious owner could swap in harmful logic without anyone noticing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fz96qgmbacmr49f2yerfw.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fz96qgmbacmr49f2yerfw.png" alt="Proxy and implementation diagram" width="800" height="174"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As shown above, users always interact with the proxy. This proxy stores both the data and the reference to the implementation address.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The issue is: &lt;strong&gt;most users only check if the proxy is verified&lt;/strong&gt;, and ignore the implementation. This gives a &lt;strong&gt;false sense of security&lt;/strong&gt;, as the real logic could be unverified or even malicious.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Real-World Examples
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I checked several popular token tools. Most of them only verify the &lt;strong&gt;proxy&lt;/strong&gt; but not the &lt;strong&gt;implementation&lt;/strong&gt; contract.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  &lt;a href="https://bulksender.app" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;BulkSender.app&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The proxy contract is verified, but the implementation is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftxxa6wu5ewmclojsefvo.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftxxa6wu5ewmclojsefvo.png" alt="Etherescan bulksender.app" width="800" height="570"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  &lt;a href="https://cryptosender.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;CryptoSender.com&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Same story: the proxy is verified, the implementation is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3ca7gg1r2o3vml0hdp6q.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3ca7gg1r2o3vml0hdp6q.png" alt="Etherscan CryptoSender.com" width="800" height="434"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  &lt;a href="https://bulksendtokens.xyz" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;BulkSendTokens.xyz&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✅ In this case, &lt;strong&gt;both the proxy and implementation are verified&lt;/strong&gt;, which is how it should be:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbwspei9wapee2d65fjfb.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbwspei9wapee2d65fjfb.png" alt="Etherscan BULKSENDTOKENS.XYZ" width="800" height="439"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why This Matters
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the implementation contract is unverified, users &lt;strong&gt;can't see what logic is being executed&lt;/strong&gt;. That means:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hidden service fees could be added&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Backdoors might exist&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Logic could be changed at any time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If both contracts are verified, everything becomes transparent: you can inspect the code, see the upgrade logic, and ensure there's no malicious behavior.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ✅ Stay Safe
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Always check &lt;strong&gt;both proxy and implementation&lt;/strong&gt; contracts are verified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don’t trust a verified proxy alone—it holds &lt;strong&gt;no logic&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be cautious with tools that don’t verify everything&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>SPL22: Solana’s Game-Changing Token Standard Made Simple</title>
      <dc:creator>blockexperts</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  SPL22: Solana’s Game-Changing Token Standard Made Simple
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’ve been exploring blockchain or dabbling in DeFi, you’ve likely heard of ERC20, Ethereum’s go-to standard for creating tokens. It’s the backbone of countless digital assets, from stablecoins to meme coins, powering seamless trading across wallets and platforms. But as fast and affordable as Solana is, its token standard—SPL—hasn’t quite kept up with Ethereum’s flexibility. That’s where &lt;strong&gt;SPL22&lt;/strong&gt; comes in, blending Solana’s blazing speed with the programmability developers crave.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s break it down, compare the standards, and explore why SPL22 is a big deal for Solana’s future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ERC20 vs. SPL: The Basics
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  ERC20: Ethereum’s Token Workhorse
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ERC20 is like the Swiss Army knife of Ethereum tokens. It defines a standard set of rules so tokens can work smoothly with wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and smart contracts. Key features include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Core functions&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;code&gt;transfer&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;approve&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;transferFrom&lt;/code&gt; for moving tokens and delegating spending rights.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Interoperability&lt;/strong&gt;: Wallets and apps know exactly how to handle ERC20 tokens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Flexibility&lt;/strong&gt;: Supports complex DeFi setups like lending or staking.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Downsides&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clunky user experience (e.g., needing separate approvals before transfers).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No built-in metadata (like token name or symbol) on-chain.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Custom tweaks can break compatibility with standard tools.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  SPL: Solana’s Speedy but Limited Standard
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solana’s &lt;strong&gt;SPL&lt;/strong&gt; (Solana Program Library) token standard is built for speed, tailored to Solana’s unique account-based system. Instead of storing balances in smart contracts like Ethereum, SPL uses &lt;strong&gt;associated token accounts&lt;/strong&gt; tied to your wallet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What it does well&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fast and cheap transactions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Simple token creation and transfers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where it falls short&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No native support for delegated transfers (like ERC20’s &lt;code&gt;transferFrom&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Every transaction needs the user’s signature, limiting automation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lacks hooks for advanced logic, forcing developers to write custom (and often brittle) workarounds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wallets like Phantom or Solflare don’t offer programmable control.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This rigidity has held back Solana developers from building the kind of sophisticated DeFi apps you see on Ethereum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Enter SPL22: Solana’s Token Standard on Steroids
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SPL22 is Solana’s answer to these limitations. It’s like ERC20 got a turbocharged upgrade, combining Solana’s high performance with the flexibility of programmable tokens. Here’s what makes it exciting:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  💡 Key Features of SPL22
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transfer Hooks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
SPL22 lets developers add custom logic to token transfers. Want to charge a small fee, reward users, or trigger staking? Transfer hooks make it happen, similar to Ethereum’s ERC777 or ERC1363 standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third-Party Control&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
With user approval, dApps can initiate transfers on your behalf. This unlocks cool features like gasless transactions, recurring subscriptions, or in-game purchases without constant wallet prompts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scalable Design&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Instead of forcing developers to write custom token programs, SPL22 uses standardized hooks. This simplifies complex DeFi logic while keeping things fast and efficient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backward Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
SPL22 plays nice with existing SPL tokens, so projects can upgrade gradually without breaking their ecosystems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Why SPL22 Matters
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solana’s known for its lightning-fast transactions and low fees, but speed alone isn’t enough for the next wave of DeFi, gaming, or enterprise apps. SPL22 brings the missing piece: &lt;strong&gt;programmability&lt;/strong&gt;. It enables:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Seamless DeFi&lt;/strong&gt;: Build protocols with native support for staking, lending, or automated fees.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Better Wallet Integration&lt;/strong&gt;: Wallets and dApps can interact with tokens more intuitively.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Enterprise Use Cases&lt;/strong&gt;: Create tokens with built-in compliance rules or governance features.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imagine launching a DAO with built-in voting rewards, creating a game with a gasless token economy, or airdropping tokens with custom rules—all natively on Solana.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🛠️ How to Get Started with SPL22
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tokens with Transfer Taxes&lt;/strong&gt;: Perfect for community-driven projects or charity tokens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Loyalty Systems&lt;/strong&gt;: Reward users automatically with each transaction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Gaming Economies&lt;/strong&gt;: Enable seamless, gasless in-game purchases.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🌟 Why This Is a Big Deal
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SPL laid the groundwork for tokens on Solana, but SPL22 takes it to the next level. Just as ERC20 sparked Ethereum’s DeFi revolution, SPL22 could unleash a new era of innovation on Solana. From DeFi powerhouses to tokenized games and enterprise solutions, programmable tokens are the key to unlocking Solana’s full potential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, what are you waiting for? Start exploring SPL22 and build something amazing!&lt;/p&gt;

  🛡️ How I Resolved the “Malicious App” Warning on Phantom Wallet Extension
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're building a dApp or browser extension that interacts with the &lt;strong&gt;Phantom Wallet&lt;/strong&gt;, and you've seen your app flagged as &lt;em&gt;malicious&lt;/em&gt;, you’re not alone. i got the same on my token manager Dapp &lt;a href="https://solana.bulksendtokens.xyz" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Solana token manager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I recently ran into this issue, and after some debugging and a successful resolution, I thought I’d share my experience. If you're seeing similar warnings and want to &lt;strong&gt;remove the "malicious app" label&lt;/strong&gt;, here's how to go about it.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚨 The Problem: "Malicious App" Warning
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Phantom Wallet sometimes flags apps or extensions that interact with wallets in an unsafe or suspicious way. This can happen if:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You manually sign and send transactions using raw methods.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You bypass Phantom's secure APIs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your code behaves like a phishing attack (even if unintentionally).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This results in a &lt;strong&gt;scary warning for users&lt;/strong&gt;, which harms trust and adoption.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ✅ The Fix: Use &lt;code&gt;signAndSendTransaction&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The key is to &lt;strong&gt;use Phantom’s secure APIs&lt;/strong&gt; correctly. Specifically, instead of signing and sending transactions manually like this:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight typescript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;signedTransaction&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;signTransaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;transaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;txId&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;sendRawTransaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;signedTransaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;serialize&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;());&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;confirmTransaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;txId&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;confirmed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Switch to Phantom’s recommended helper method:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight typescript"&gt;&lt;code&gt; &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;provider&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;getProvider&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;signature&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;provider&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;signAndSendTransaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;transaction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="k"&gt;await&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;connection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;getSignatureStatus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;signature&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;🔒 Why this works&lt;br&gt;
Phantom can detect when your app uses its secure, native API (signAndSendTransaction) which maintains the right security and UX expectations for users. Using raw signing and serialization steps may look like spoofing to the wallet, even if your code is safe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;📧 Still Flagged? Request a Manual Review&lt;br&gt;
If you've already made the switch but the warning persists, you can request a manual review from the Phantom team:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✉️ Email: &lt;a href="mailto:review@phantom.com"&gt;review@phantom.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
📄 Include details like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your project name&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;GitHub or website URL&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Code snippets showing secure API usage&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✅ Checklist to Avoid Being Flagged&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use signAndSendTransaction instead of raw signing/sending.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Avoid modifying the transaction structure after signing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not inject hidden fields or overwrite wallet methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don’t request excessive permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make your code open-source if possible (helps with review).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
