Recover SUI
Reclaim idle SUI tokens locked in token accounts and consolidate them back to your main wallet.
What is SUI Recovery?
On the SUI blockchain, each token you hold may create separate account structures that require a small amount of SUI to maintain. When you close or transfer these accounts, the SUI used to maintain them can be recovered and returned to your main wallet.
The Recover SUI tool automatically scans your wallet for idle SUI locked in closed or empty token accounts and consolidates it back to your main balance.
Why Recover SUI?
Over time, you can accumulate idle SUI in various accounts:

Common Recovery Scenarios
Closed Token Accounts
When you transfer all tokens from an account or close a token position, the SUI used to create that account becomes recoverable. This is the most common source of idle SUI.
Empty LP Positions
After removing liquidity or burning LP tokens, the associated accounts may have leftover SUI that can be recovered.
Failed Transactions
Some failed or partially completed transactions may leave small amounts of SUI locked. The recovery tool can identify and reclaim these amounts.
When to Recover SUI
- • After closing multiple token positions
- • When you notice fragmented SUI balance
- • Before making large transactions to maximize available SUI
- • Periodically (monthly/quarterly) for wallet maintenance
- • After removing liquidity from multiple pools
Important Notes
- • Recovery transactions require a small gas fee (typically <0.001 SUI)
- • Only truly idle SUI can be recovered - active accounts are protected
- • The process is safe and cannot affect your active token balances
- • You may need to approve multiple transactions for multiple accounts
- • Recovered amounts vary based on account rent and transaction history
