What is Priority fees?

Optional tips that speed up Solana transactions.

Solana's base fee is fixed (5,000 lamports per signature — a fraction of a cent). Priority fees are optional extra payments, priced in micro-lamports per compute unit, that validators use to order competing transactions during congestion.

They spike when the network is busy (major mints, volatile markets). Our fees page tracks the live median.
