Close Address Lookup Table

Summary

The mplx toolbox lut close command closes a previously deactivated Address Lookup Table and returns its rent to a recipient wallet.

• Permanently removes the LUT account and every address stored in it.
• Requires the LUT to have been deactivated for at least 512 slots (~5 minutes on mainnet).
• Reclaims rent to the current identity by default, or to --recipient.
• Only succeeds when the current identity (or --authority) matches the LUT authority.

Quick Reference

The table below summarizes the command's syntax, preconditions, and defaults.

Basic Usage

Close a deactivated LUT by passing its address as the sole positional argument.

mplx toolbox lut close <address>

Arguments

The command takes a single positional argument identifying the LUT to close.

• address (required): Public key of the LUT to close.

Flags

Optional flags override the default recipient and authority.

• --recipient <pubkey>: Recipient for the reclaimed rent. Defaults to the current identity.
• --authority <pubkey>: Authority public key for the LUT. Defaults to the current identity.

Examples

The following examples cover the common close scenarios.

mplx toolbox lut close <address>
mplx toolbox lut close <address> --recipient <recipient-pubkey>
mplx toolbox lut close <address> --authority <authority-pubkey>

Output

On success the command prints the closed LUT address and the transaction signature.

Notes

• The LUT must be deactivated first via toolbox lut deactivate.
• A minimum of 512 slots (~5 minutes on mainnet) must pass between deactivation and close.
• Closing is irreversible — the LUT and its contained addresses are permanently removed.
• Only the LUT authority can close it.
