How to send SOL on Solana
- Ask the receiver for a SOL address on Solana and check the network name on their deposit page matches. SOL on another network is a different token and a deposit on the wrong one is usually lost.
- On the exchange choose SOL, then network Solana; the form shows the fee and minimum. Right now the enabled rails are Binance ($0.120) and KuCoin ($0.962).
- Paste the address, send a small test amount first if the sum is large, and wait for about 5 s.
- Paste the address into the address check to confirm it belongs to Solana before confirming; then use the route planner if you want every rail ranked for your amount.

Questions
- Why does the SOL fee on Solana change?
- The on-chain figure is 5,000 lamports base + median priority fee × 200k CU, read from Solana RPC getRecentPrioritizationFees. It moves for two reasons: the network's fee market (gas, energy or priority price) rises and falls with demand, and the USD figure follows the SOL price ($120 when this page was built). We re-read both every 90 seconds and never fill a gap with an old number.
- What is the minimum SOL withdrawal on Solana?
- Right now: Binance 0.01 SOL, HTX 0.002 SOL and KuCoin 0.016 SOL. Below the minimum the exchange refuses the withdrawal; at or just above it the flat fee is a large share of what arrives ($0.120 of a 0.01 SOL withdrawal at Binance).
- Is Solana the cheapest network to send SOL right now?
- No. BNB Smart Chain is cheapest right now at $0.025 total; Solana is $0.121, rank 2 of 2. Cheapest only matters if the receiver accepts SOL on that network.
