Sync Native

What Is Wrapped SOL?

Wrapped SOL (WSOL) is SOL held in a token account for the Token Program's native mint. The native mint is the mint address the Token Program uses for token accounts that wrap SOL. The native mint enables SOL to be used through the Token Program's instructions.

A wrapped SOL token account stores SOL in the account's lamports field, but tracks the SOL held in the wrapped SOL token account as a token balance through the token account amount field. If you transfer SOL into a wrapped SOL token account, the lamport balance increases immediately, but the token amount field does not change until you call the Token Program's SyncNative instruction.

How to Sync Native SOL

Use the Token Program's SyncNative instruction after transferring SOL into a wrapped SOL token account. The SyncNative instruction updates the token account amount field to match the lamports held in the account above its rent-exempt reserve.
