On Solana, the network charges you 0.000005 SOL in base fee per signature, whether you swap $50 or $50,000.
That’s the cheap part.
The part that scales with your trade size is the platform fee the interface adds on top, and some in-wallet swaps charge around 0.85%, which is $85 on a $10,000 trade before price impact.
It’s easy to compare the token you’re buying and skip the door you’re buying it through.
KindSwap,
@kindworldlabs Solana DEX aggregator, is running zero platform fees on swaps until 31 October 2026, so I used it as the test case.
This thread breaks a swap into its three costs, shows the swap I ran myself, and covers what zero fee does and doesn’t mean. 🧵
