Solana Fees
Network Fees & Priority Tips
Indexify sponsors base gas fees, so you don’t need to hold SOL to trade. However, there are additional costs that may apply when trading during high network activity.
Slippage Tolerance
Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price.
Setting a slippage tolerance ensures your transaction still goes through if prices move slightly during confirmation.
If the market moves beyond your tolerance, the transaction will fail instead of filling at a worse price.
Best practices:
Use low slippage (0.1%–0.5%) for stable pairs or low volatility.
Use higher slippage (1%–5%) for volatile or low-liquidity tokens. some tokens may at times even require more.
Balance safety (avoid bad fills) with execution certainty (avoid failed txns).
⚠️ Warning Very high slippage can expose you to front-running or poor execution. Adjust carefully based on market conditions.
Priority Tip
A Priority Tip is an optional extra payment made to validators.
It helps increase the likelihood of faster trade confirmations, especially:
During high network congestion
On high-volume tokens
How it works:
Enter the amount you are willing to pay for prioritization.
Default value:
0.0015Higher tips = higher chance of faster execution.
TIP: If network congestion is high, increasing your priority fee can help confirm transactions faster! you can adjust the Priority Tip in the trading panel.
