How it works
Rent in, GOR out
Short answers about where the GOR comes from, what each tool touches and what it costs.
Where does the GOR come from?+
Gorbagana, like Solana, makes every account hold a rent deposit. A token account holds 0.00204 GOR, an NFT about 0.0082 GOR more in its metadata and edition. Every token you ever received, swapped or got airdropped left one of these behind, even after the balance hit zero. Closing an account returns its deposit to you.
Is it safe?+
ClaimYourGor has no program of its own. Each transaction calls the standard token programs, Metaplex Token Metadata or the BPF loader directly, with your wallet as the only signer and the only place the rent can go. There is no fee and no transfer to anyone: every gabe goes back to you. The only extra instruction is a short "claimyourgor" memo, which is how the stats page counts claims. Your wallet shows all of it before you approve, and every transaction is simulated first, so one that would fail never reaches the prompt.
What does each tool do?+
- Vacant: closes token accounts with nothing in them (SPL Token and Token-2022). Token-2022 accounts holding withheld transfer fees get them harvested to the mint first, which is what lets them close.
- wGOR: closes wrapped GOR accounts. The wrapped balance comes back as GOR, along with the rent.
- Tokens: burns a token's whole balance and closes the account. Tokens worth more than the rent (prices from the Binswap API) are hidden unless you ask to see them; sell those instead.
- NFTs: Metaplex NFTs (like Mucklings and Gorigins) are burned with Token Metadata's Burn, which also closes the metadata and master edition. Token-2022 NFTs (like Gorbagios) burn like a token.
- Resize: Metaplex's Resize shrinks NFT accounts made before its compact sizes and returns the difference; the NFT stays yours. Every NFT minted on Gorbagana so far already uses the compact sizes, so this usually finds nothing.
- Buffers: program deploys leave buffer accounts behind when they fail or are abandoned. If your wallet is a buffer's authority, closing it returns everything it holds.
- Revoke: removes delegate approvals that let another wallet move your tokens. Free.
What does it cost?+
Nothing. ClaimYourGor takes no fee on any tool: every vacant account gives you its full 0.00204 GOR. The only cost is Gorbagana's network fee of 0.000005 GOR per transaction, and one transaction closes up to 24 accounts.
Why do I need some GOR to claim?+
The network fee is paid before the transaction runs, so a wallet with exactly 0 GOR can't send one. Any dust is enough: the rent comes back in the same transaction.
Why can't some accounts be closed?+
They are marked in the list. A frozen account can't be closed until its token's issuer thaws it; an account whose close authority is another wallet can only be closed by that wallet; a collection NFT with members can't be burned; locked or listed pNFTs must be unlocked first. Print editions aren't supported yet (none exist on Gorbagana so far).
Burning an NFT leaves 0.01 GOR behind. Why?+
Metaplex Token Metadata charges a 0.01 GOR creation fee when an NFT is minted and keeps it in the metadata account. Burning returns the account's rent but the program leaves that fee where it is; no app can claim it for you.
Which wallets work?+
Any Solana wallet that can use a custom RPC and is pointed at Gorbagana. Backpack supports Gorbagana out of the box. Transactions are signed in your wallet and sent through Gorbagana's RPC. A Gorbagana blockhash lasts about 10 seconds, so approve promptly; an expired transaction simply never lands and costs nothing.
What about compressed NFTs, stake accounts and the other Sol Incinerator tools?+
Gorbagana runs no Bubblegum, Metaplex Core, stake program, Serum or pump.fun, so those accounts don't exist there. Gorbagana also kept the original rent rate, so there is no excess rent to refund on accounts you keep.
