What to check before you use any Solana rent-reclaim tool

Any tool that asks you to connect a wallet and sign a transaction deserves a moment of scrutiny first — including this one. Here's what's actually worth checking, regardless of which tool you end up using.

Does it show you the exact numbers before you sign?

You should see the gross amount, the fee, and the net amount you'll receive before approving anything — not an estimate, not a range, and definitely not a blind signature request.

Is it non-custodial?

The tool should build transactions for your wallet to sign, and never ask for your seed phrase or private key under any circumstance. If something asks for either, that's not a rent-reclaim tool anymore.

Has it been audited — and does it say so honestly?

Most tools in this space, including newer ones, haven't had an external security audit yet. That's not automatically disqualifying for a tool built on standard, well-tested Token Program instructions rather than custom on-chain logic — but a project that's upfront about not being audited yet is telling you more than one that stays quiet about it.

Where does the fee wallet's authority sit?

A single private key controlling a platform's fee wallet is a normal starting point for a new project, but it's worth knowing whether that's the case, and whether there's a plan to move to a multisig as volume grows.

Does the marketing match the reality?

Claimed user counts and revenue figures are easy to publish and hard to verify from the outside. A devnet-only project that presents itself as a mature, high-volume platform is a bigger red flag than a small project that's upfront about being early.
