Withdraw Token-2022 Transfer Fees to Your Wallet

Where your token's tax waits before you claim it

Tax on a Solana Token-2022 token is held in 2 places: holder accounts and the mint (Solana docs on transfer fees). One Claim Tax run can collect transfer fees from both. Holders cannot spend the withheld tokens in their accounts.

The mint holds tax that was moved out of holder accounts, for example before an account was closed. Anyone can harvest withheld tokens to the mint, without a signature from the holder or from the wallet that collects the tax.

More background: how Token-2022 differs from SPL tokens.

The rate authority and the wallet that collects the tax

A Token-2022 tax token on Solana has 2 separate roles. The rate authority sets the tax rate, and the wallet that collects the tax withdraws it.

If your connected wallet does not collect the tax, Claim Tax does not let you claim. It shows the address of the wallet that does, so connect that wallet instead. If a launchpad made your token, check which wallet collects its tax.

If the role of collecting the tax was removed from a token, nobody can ever withdraw that token's tax. When you create a Solana tax token on Tokenry, the wallet that collects the tax is set at creation, and no Tokenry tool ever removes it.

What a claim costs

A claim run with Claim Tax on Solana has up to 3 costs. The Tokenry fee is 0.03 SOL per claim run, split across its transactions, paid to Tokenry. The network fee is about 0.00001 SOL per transaction, paid to the Solana network. On the first claim only, rent is about 0.0016 SOL, only if your wallet has no account for the token yet, and it is held in your new token account as a deposit.

The rent figure is the current rate, after Solana's SIMD-0437 rent cut. When your wallet already has an account for the token, a full run of 17 transactions totals just over 0.03 SOL.

What one claim run collects

One Claim Tax run on Solana withdraws the Token-2022 tax from the mint and from up to 340 holder accounts, the ones that hold the most tax. The run takes up to 17 transactions. If more accounts hold tax, press "Scan again" after the run to claim the rest.

Tokenry checks every transaction before your wallet asks you to sign. If your wallet does not hold enough SOL, you are stopped before you sign. Each transaction stands alone. If one fails, it claims no tax and you pay no share of the Tokenry fee for it, while the others still land.

Sell part of the tax for SOL

Claim Tax sells your chosen share through Jupiter, which routes the sale across Solana DEXes. Before review, the form shows the expected SOL and the price impact, and warns above 5% impact. The sale runs after the claim, at a fresh quote, on your share of the tax that landed.

Tokenry charges no fee on the sale. You pay the network fee, the fees of the DEX pools on the route, and your token's own tax on the transfer into the pool.

A failed sale never undoes the claim: the claimed tax stays in your wallet. If no market buys your token for SOL yet, claim without selling.

Lock the tax rate on an existing token

The "Lock tax rate" section of Claim Tax shows only to the wallet that holds your token's rate authority. Locking costs a 0.05 SOL Tokenry fee plus the network fee.

Locking removes the rate authority, and it is permanent: nobody can change the tax rate again. The wallet that collects the tax keeps its role, so you can still claim.

Locking the rate at creation on Tokenry's tax token creator is free.
