Merge & split Solana stake accounts
Staking rewards, restaking and old splits leave most native stakers with a pile of separate stake accounts. Connect your wallet to combine compatible accounts into one — cutting rent and clutter — or split a large account into two, each in a single signed, simulated transaction.
- Finds every native stake account your wallet controls
- Merges accounts that can legally combine — same validator and authorities
- Splits a stake account into a new one with any amount of SOL
- Simulated on-chain before you sign — invalid merges are caught, not signed
- Non-custodial — your keys never leave your wallet
How to merge stake accounts on Solana
Two stake accounts can merge when they share authorities and lockup and are delegated to the same validator — this tool groups the ones that qualify and merges them in one transaction.
Solana’s Stake Program only allows a merge when the accounts are truly compatible: identical stake and withdraw authorities, matching lockup, and the same delegated vote account (or both undelegated), and neither account mid-deactivation. This tool does that grouping for you — it scans your wallet, buckets the accounts that can legally combine, and lets you pick two or more from a single group. Your selection combines into the largest account, which gains the others’ full balances — every lamport stays yours, including the rent the smaller accounts were holding.
How to split a Solana stake account
Splitting peels off part of a stake account’s SOL into a new account that keeps the same delegation — useful for delegating a slice elsewhere or gifting stake.
Choose a stake account and the amount of SOL to move; the tool generates a fresh stake account, funds its rent, and splits your chosen amount into it in one transaction. The new account inherits the source account’s delegation and authorities. Both the original and the new account must stay rent-exempt and, if delegated, above Solana’s 1 SOL minimum delegation — the on-chain simulation flags it before signing if an amount would break either rule.
Why merge or split your stake accounts?
Merging cuts rent and clutter; splitting lets you move or delegate part of your stake without touching the rest.
Every stake account carries its own rent and has to be tracked separately, and native staking tends to scatter your SOL across many small accounts over time. Merging compatible accounts into one simplifies management and returns the rent from the accounts that are absorbed. Splitting goes the other way: it lets you carve out a portion to delegate to a different validator, move to a pool, or transfer, while the remainder stays exactly where it is.
Merging & splitting Solana stake accounts: frequently asked questions
How do I merge stake accounts on Solana?
Accounts can merge when they share authorities and lockup and are delegated to the same validator. This tool groups the compatible ones and merges your selection into the largest, in a single simulated transaction.
How do I split a Solana stake account?
Pick a source account and an amount of SOL; the tool creates a new stake account with the same delegation and splits your amount into it in one transaction. Both accounts must stay rent-exempt and above the 1 SOL minimum if delegated.
Why would I merge my stake accounts?
Each stake account pays rent and is managed separately. Merging small accounts delegated to the same validator simplifies management and recovers the rent from the ones that are absorbed.
Is merging or splitting stake accounts safe?
Yes. Both are native Solana Stake Program operations. The tool is non-custodial and simulates every transaction on-chain before you sign, so an invalid merge or undersized split is caught before anything is signed.
