The Wallet Recovery Protocol

Every active on-chain wallet accumulates residue: token accounts holding sub-cent balances, closed DeFi positions that never returned their rent, unclaimed staking rewards, expired vesting contracts, stuck DCA orders, unspent creator fees, and orphaned program-derived accounts. Individually these balances are small. In aggregate, across the tens of millions of active Solana wallets alone, they represent hundreds of millions of dollars of dormant, recoverable value.

WalletSweep is a protocol and application layer that surfaces this value and returns it to its rightful owner in a single signed session. Version 1 focuses on Solana. Version 2 and beyond extends the same scanning primitives to Ethereum, Base, Bitcoin L2s, TON, Sui and any account-model chain where rent, dust, and stuck positions exist. $W is the network-native asset that aligns the protocol’s growth with its users through a deterministic, on-chain buy-back mechanic executed at the moment of every recovery.

The design of modern blockchains almost guarantees that active users will leak value over time. On Solana, every SPL token account requires rent — roughly 0.00203928 SOL held as a refundable deposit. Users routinely open hundreds of these accounts through airdrops, NFT mints, DEX interactions, and DeFi participation. Each account is a tiny, individually invisible security deposit. Multiplied across a wallet history, they add up to real money.

The problem is not limited to rent. It compounds across:

• Dust balances of tokens too small to swap manually
• Unclaimed staking and MEV rewards from validators the user forgot
• Closed DeFi positions where LP receipts still sit un-redeemed
• Expired or fully-vested lockups on Streamflow, Jupiter Lock, and similar
• Cancelled or completed Jupiter DCA / limit orders holding residual balance
• Serum / OpenBook v1 open-orders accounts abandoned since the migration
• Marinade unstake tickets past their cooldown
• Pump.fun and other launchpad creator fees never claimed
• Program-owned accounts left over from deprecated protocols

Recovering any single one of these requires knowing it exists, knowing the specific program instruction to close or claim it, paying priority fees, and signing a transaction that may fail if the wallet is in the wrong state. In practice, almost no user does this on their own.

A number of tools have appeared that offer to “refund your SOL” by closing empty SPL token accounts. This is a useful primitive, but it is a fraction of what a typical active wallet actually has locked away. Competing services stop at empty token accounts; WalletSweep runs the full sweep.

The result is that a typical active wallet sees several multiples more value recovered with WalletSweep than with a naive account-closer. For power users — traders, LPs, airdrop hunters — the gap can be an order of magnitude or more.

WalletSweep is composed of three layers:

Nothing in the architecture is chain-specific except the scanner and executor adapters. Adding a new chain is a matter of implementing the scanner interface for that chain’s account model and wiring up its native signing flow.

Solana is the natural first chain: the account-rent model creates the most obviously recoverable value per user. But every major chain has its own version of the same problem.

• Ethereum & EVM L2s: stuck approvals, dust ERC-20s, un-redeemed LP tokens, expired vesting, forgotten locked stables in old bridges.
• Bitcoin & L2s: tiny UTXOs consolidated with fee-aware batching, Runes / BRC-20 dust, and un-swept ordinal residuals.
• TON / Sui / Aptos: account-model chains with their own rent, storage rebates and jetton dust equivalents.

The long-term vision is a single dashboard where a user connects any wallet on any supported chain and reclaims everything the network owes them, in one flow. $W is designed to be the coordination asset across all of these environments.

$W is the native asset of the WalletSweep protocol. It is designed to be simple: a fixed supply, a clear utility surface, and a deterministic on-chain link between protocol usage and buy pressure.

The 1,000,000,000 $W supply is allocated as follows. All allocations are locked or vested on-chain; no allocation can be minted after the fact.

The core economic innovation of WalletSweep is the direct link between recovery volume and $W buy pressure. Today, when a user cleans their wallet, the recovered SOL and token value is returned to them and the protocol takes a small service fee. When $W launches, we introduce an opt-in Recover-in-$W mode:

1. The user scans their wallet as normal. The protocol computes the total recoverable USD value V.
2. Instead of returning that value to the user in SOL and mixed tokens, the executor routes the entire recovered balance through a DEX aggregator (Jupiter on Solana, analogous routers on other chains) and market-buys $W directly on-chain.
3. The purchased $W is delivered to the user’s wallet in a single atomic bundle. The user receives $W worth $V, minus routing and network fees, with a bonus.

The effect is a steady, protocol-generated buy flow into $W liquidity every time anyone anywhere cleans a wallet. It is not a discretionary treasury buy-back run once a quarter; it is a per-transaction, verifiable, on-chain purchase whose volume scales directly with adoption. Users who opt into Recover-in-$W get a bonus (initially a percentage uplift funded from the community allocation) as compensation for absorbing token exposure.

$W is designed to accrue utility across the protocol:

• Fee discounts: paying protocol fees in $W lowers the effective service fee.
• Priority scans: $W holders get access to advanced modules (creator fees, LP sweeps, cross-chain scans) before general availability.
• Referral boost: referrers holding $W earn a larger share of recovery fees.
• Governance: parameter votes on buy-back ratios, supported chains, fee curves, and grant allocations.
• Rescan reminders: holders unlock more frequent automated re-scan cycles.

WalletSweep is fully non-custodial. The protocol never holds user funds, never has withdrawal authority, and never requests seed phrases or private keys. Every state change happens inside a transaction the user signs in their own wallet.

• Read-only scans use only public RPC data.
• Executor transactions display simulated balance changes before signing.
• Priority fees are capped and disclosed.
• All swap routes are quoted through public aggregators with slippage limits.
• Smart-contract components (when introduced for cross-chain settlement) will be audited by independent firms before mainnet exposure.

This document is informational and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security. $W is a utility token intended for use within the WalletSweep protocol. Nothing herein is investment, legal, or tax advice.

Users assume the ordinary risks of interacting with public blockchains: transaction failures, priority-fee volatility, DEX slippage, third-party program bugs, and regulatory change. WalletSweep mitigates these where possible but cannot eliminate them. Users should review each signed transaction before approving.
