Sol Asset Recovery

Sol Asset Recovery, which now trades as Sol Recovery at sol-recovery.io, is a Solana web app for people whose wallet has been hacked. It is not the Utah-based Sol Recovery Community, which shares the name. It does not trace or reverse stolen funds. It finds what an attacker has not been able to take yet: staked tokens, vesting allocations, DeFi positions, NFTs and .sol domains. Then it helps move them to a clean wallet.

You start by pasting the hacked wallet's public address. Nothing gets connected. For tokens stuck behind an unstaking cooldown, its paid bot service tries to withdraw them the moment they unlock, ahead of the attacker's own bot. The site has been live since April 2024. As of October 2026 its homepage says it has helped more than 1,000 users recover over $2 million.

How Sol Recovery works: scanning a compromised Solana wallet without connecting it

The core flow has three steps, per the homepage:

1. Enter the compromised wallet's public address. No wallet connection, seed phrase or signature is needed to scan.
2. The scanner lists what the address still holds: tokens, staked positions, DeFi deposits, collectibles and domains.
3. You get recovery recommendations for each asset, and you set a safe wallet to receive funds and a payer wallet to cover network fees.

The payer wallet is needed because a hacked wallet can't safely hold SOL. Any SOL sent to it for fees is usually swept straight away by the attacker's monitoring script. With a separate fee payer, the recovery transaction never has to put SOL into the compromised address.

The scan is free. A free account lets you save wallets and track progress over time. You can track several compromised wallets from one account.

Sol Recovery bot service for staked JUP, BONK and Meteora positions

The bot service is for assets locked behind a cooldown, where the attacker is also waiting to grab them. Examples include staked JUP on Jupiter JUP$0.261+4.6%, Bonk Bonk$0.00000302+1.9% staking and Meteora MET$0.294+6.2% positions. The site also names Loopscale among the protocols it handles.

When a position unlocks, the bot sends hundreds of transactions at that moment, trying to land the withdrawal before the attacker's bot does. Sol Recovery runs one bot per protocol, and for some protocols it tries several methods at once. Recovered funds go to the bot's wallet first, then on to your safe wallet.

It costs more than the scan, in both money and trust. The bot needs the compromised wallet's private key so it can sign the instant the position unlocks. The fee is 10% of what is recovered. If nothing is recovered, nothing is charged. The page says plainly that recovery is never guaranteed.

Bricked Solana wallets: the Workshop and the Sol Recovery Wallet extension

Some attackers do more than drain a wallet. They "brick" it, turning the address into a durable nonce account or handing it to a program the attacker controls. As Sol Incinerator explains, the wallet then can't send SOL normally, though its tokens are still there. In an October 2026 reply on X, Sol Recovery said many of its users' wallets are in this nonce-account state.

Sol Recovery's answer is the Workshop, a tool for building and fixing custom transactions. You can use it to claim airdrops or withdraw from protocols when wallet apps refuse to sign. A July 2026 redesign added clearer warnings, guided fixes for common errors and one-click sharing of a transaction's details with the team.

Getting transactions into the Workshop used to mean digging through developer settings in Phantom or Solflare. Later that month the team released the Sol Recovery Wallet extension for Chrome. You add the hacked wallet by address only. It is view-only and can't sign or send anything. When you start a transaction on any Solana dApp, the extension catches it and sends it to the Workshop. It does this even when the dApp's pre-check fails, as it often does for bricked wallets. It is desktop only.

Other Sol Recovery features: portfolio view, SOL in mint accounts and support

• Portfolio dashboard: since May 2026, one view gathers every asset and integrated protocol across the wallets you track.
• SOL stuck in a mint account: in May 2026 the team said it can now get SOL out of wallets that were mistakenly turned into a token mint. It said it had seen this happen with Pump.fun. This one is handled by DM, not self-serve.
• Wallet verification: before the team acts on a wallet, you have to prove it is yours. The July 2026 update rewrote the instructions after many users sent Phantom or Solscan screenshots the team couldn't accept.
• AI support: an assistant on the site can see your wallet and assets and answer recovery questions. You can pass the chat to the human team without explaining everything again. It also offers urgent contact for funds that are draining right now.

How much Sol Recovery costs

The scan, the advice and the account are free. The bot service takes 10% of what it gets back, and only if it gets something back, per the bot service page. You also pay the usual Solana network fees from your payer wallet. The site lists no price for Workshop help or for getting SOL out of a mint account.

Who Sol Recovery is for

Sol Recovery suits a Solana user whose key or seed phrase has leaked but who still has value the attacker can't move yet. Typical cases are staked JUP or BONK in a cooldown, a Meteora position, vesting tokens, NFTs or a .sol domain. It also suits users whose wallet has been bricked into a nonce or program-owned account and who need a way to sign transactions that normal wallets won't build.

It can't help with anything already taken. Solana transactions are final. Free SOL in a compromised wallet is usually gone, which the team itself told one user in June 2026. If your wallet is healthy, you don't need this tool. Move to a new wallet and revoke your token approvals.

Is Sol Recovery safe and legit?

Sol Recovery has a track record you can check. It has run since April 2024. Its homepage links to posts on X from users it helped. Sol Incinerator, a rival tool, points hacked users to it. Even so, the risks are real.

• The bot service is custodial. You hand over the compromised wallet's private key, and recovered funds pass through the bot's wallet before they reach yours. The site advises you to discuss any concerns with the team before sharing the key. That key is already exposed to the attacker, so sharing it adds trust in Sol Recovery, not new exposure to theft from that address. Assets in other wallets that share the same seed phrase are a different matter.
• No published audit, team or company details. No audit report or named team members could be found. No on-chain program is listed for the project; it works as a website, bots and an extension, so the trust sits with its operators rather than with audited code.
• No guarantee. Bots race the attacker's bots, and the site says recovery is never guaranteed.
• Copycats and recovery scams. Phantom's help centre warns that recovery scammers target people who have just lost funds. Lookalike "SOL recovery" domains have been flagged as drainers. Only use sol-recovery.io and the @sol_recovery account. Never type a seed phrase into a site you reached from a DM or ad.

Sol Recovery alternatives for hacked Solana wallets

• Sol Incinerator: closes empty token accounts on a bricked wallet and sends the reclaimed rent SOL to a safe address you choose. It is better for small balances and rent, but it doesn't run unlock-timing bots for staked or vesting positions.
• Your wallet's own tools: Phantom CASH$1.000+0.0% and Solflare can't reverse transactions or recover stolen funds. Phantom's guidance is to disconnect apps, revoke approvals and move what you can to a new wallet.
• General crypto-forensics firms: some investigators, such as CF Investigators, offer custom bot rescues for locked crypto across chains. They are not Solana-specific, and they don't publish their fees.
• Rent reclaim for a healthy wallet: if your wallet isn't compromised and you just want SOL back from unused token accounts, Solana Compass runs its own token-account closing tool. Disclosure: it is our product, and it is built for healthy wallets, not hacked ones.

Sol Asset Recovery history

The project launched in April 2024 as Sol Asset Recovery. Its first site, solana-asset-recovery.vercel.app, now sends you to sol-recovery.io. It posts on X as @sol_recovery.

In May 2026 it added the portfolio view and a fix for SOL stuck in mint accounts. In July it shipped a new site, AI support, a page for the bot service and the Chrome extension. It has not announced a token.
