00:00:00.650 --> 00:00:04.378
When you send a Solana transaction, fees are paid in SOL.

00:00:04.638 --> 00:00:08.368
The current base fee is five thousand lamports per signature.

00:00:08.628 --> 00:00:14.281
An optional priority fee can add to the total and improve scheduling priority.

00:00:14.541 --> 00:00:19.362
So five thousand lamports is not a fixed total for every transaction.

00:00:19.622 --> 00:00:22.105
Check the fee estimate before sending.

00:00:22.365 --> 00:00:25.266
Fees can still apply when execution fails.
