cost predictability

Predictably low fees

Solana's local fee markets keep median transaction costs in fractions of a penny, even when other networks experience sharp fee volatility under load. On October 10th, 2025, Solana users continued to pay under a penny for payments while other chains spiked network fees from tens to hundreds of dollars per transaction.
