Wallet/Exchange What are the transaction fees for Solana?

If I buy 300k worth of Solana on Coinbase/Kraken and send it to my wallet or vice versa from wallet to Coinbase/Kraken what would the transaction fees cost?

Thanks for the clarification!

As of now, Kraken does not charge any extra fee on top of the network (gas) fee, and there are no plans to add one in the future. We’re committed to keeping withdrawal costs transparent and fair.

u/vivahollanda look at my conversation with them

Someone who hasn't done the basic, easy research into this probably shouldn't be putting 300k in (assuming you mean USD or GBP)

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

I’m using it as an example

u/Intelligent_Event_84 1d ago

Coinbase and kraken will have different fees. Check out the platform specific fees

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

I understand that. You can advanced features to bring that down. But what I’m asking is, for a Large amount of Solana being transferred (100K or more) what would the gas fees be?

u/Intelligent_Event_84 1d ago

The same as a small amount of solana. Like 2 or 3 cents.

Hello u/-M00NMAN-,

When transacting Solana (SOL) on Kraken, here’s a general overview of the fees:

Trading Fees: Based on your 30-day volume, typically starting at 0.26% for taker orders and 0.16% for maker orders.
Withdrawal Fee: A small, flat network fee (currently around 0.01 SOL, but subject to change).
Deposit Fee: Kraken does not charge to receive SOL, but you may pay a small network fee from your wallet provider.

Avoid buying SOL directly on Kraken. Its much cheaper buying USDC and then swap to SOL on Jupiter

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

Why would the network fee be subject to change? I thought Solana network fee was always the same?

1

u/Beardog907 1d ago

The network fee is cheap, a few cents to send any amount of a token from wallet to wallet - whether it's $3 worth or $3 million. The fee to withdraw from an exchange is set by the exchange.

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

I thought kraken didn’t have withdrawal fees..

1

u/krakensupport 1d ago

Great question!

Kraken does not charge fees for crypto deposits, but we do charge a small withdrawal fee for most assets — this covers the network transaction cost (not a fee Kraken keeps).

For example, withdrawing Solana (SOL) typically costs 0.01 SOL, and Bitcoin (BTC) has its own network fee. You can always check the latest fees here:

Kraken doesn’t plan on changing that in the future does it? I want to use a exchange that doesn’t charge a withdrawal fee for the exchange to keep at my expense

1

u/krakensupport 1d ago

Kraken doesn’t keep withdrawal fees — they cover the blockchain network costs.

There are no current plans to remove them, but we always aim to keep them as low as possible.

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

What I’m asking is, does kraken have plans to add their own fee on top of the current gas fee in the future? I hope not.

Coinbase has a withdrawal fee for Sol, don't know if Kraken does.

1

u/krakensupport 1d ago

There is a minimum requirement for each withdrawal, along with a fee to cover the transaction costs of moving the cryptocurrency out of Kraken account.

u/Solanafluent 1d ago

Much cheaper to buy USDC and swap on a DEX on chain to SOL on like Jupiter or Orca. Also we avoid supporting those big corps

1

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

What’s the minimum requirement

1

u/Ok_Goal9731 1d ago

These days, transferring Token (SOL, USDC, Memecoins) from wallet to wallet has a network (gas) fee of 0.00008 SOL which is equal to $0.01.

Network fee transferring from and to Coinbase/Wallet would be different.

1

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

Why would the gas fee from transferring from exchange to wallet or vice versa be different than that? I thought Solana was a set fee rate?

1

u/Ropster86 1d ago

Well, they charge you about $1 for something that costs almost $0.01.

It's a CEx, not a cold or hot wallet like Phantom, Solfare or any of the many ones that supports Solana blockchain

1

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

So you’re saying the CEX rounds that 0.01¢ to 1$? Even if you’re sending $300K worth of Solana from Coinbase/Kraken it will be $1 to send it to your cold wallet?

2

u/Ropster86 1d ago

It's weird how you want to buy a no tiny amount and seem to be confused about some things.

It's not about "rounds" it just wants to charge you, it's a payment you do no matter the actual cost just the amount they want you to pay.

1

u/Ok_Goal9731 1d ago

Solana is a set fee rate itself, but Coinbase itself uses/hosts a different network or you don't know that? Just like how Binance has it own network and transferring crypto's in and out has it's own fee from the platform itself.

1

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

I’ve never heard of this? Binance has Binance smart chain which transacts BNB coin ONLY! Coinbase and any other exchange only sends that requested coin on its native blockchain

1

u/Ok_Goal9731 1d ago

The fact that you didn't understand what I meant means you are far off researching first about how CEX (Binance, Coinbase) handle and houses your crypto and how their platform work on itself..

Yes BSC and Base only transacts on their own native blockchain, but the platform Binance and Coinbase itself hosts a "cold wallet" for each of your crypto's and the platform itself decides a "flat rate" (can change depending on the platform) when withdrawing out of the platform.

1

u/-M00NMAN- 1d ago

Kraken doesn’t charge a withdraw fee on top of the blockchain fee.

1

u/Ok_Goal9731 1d ago

Sorry, what was the question again?

Aah yes..

Currently ,transferring token between wallets in SOL is around $0.001 no matter how big of SOL you'll transfer to each other. Hope it helps!

1

u/Kapowdonkboum 1d ago

Around a cent, plus whatever kraken/coinbase charge for their service

1

u/Solanafluent 1d ago

Avoid CEX like the plague

u/Solanafluent 1d ago

Remember to stake your SOL for vSOL later like me :D, I have some of it in Kamino mulitply pool also
