# Token account rent

Token account rent is the SOL a Solana wallet must lock to hold a token, about 0.00204 SOL per account, returned when the account is closed.

## How it works

Solana charges for storage by asking each account to hold a minimum balance. A standard token account is 165 bytes, which needs 2,039,280 lamports (0.00203928 SOL). Closing the account after selling returns it.

Every team wallet that buys a coin needs its own token account, so rent scales with team size.

## Worked example

A team of 100 on pump fun locks about 100 × 0.00204 = 0.204 SOL in token-account rent. Unison budgets 0.006 SOL per buying wallet, which also covers pump fun’s per-user volume account and fees, with room. Unused room comes back.
