Solana transaction fee now
Solana charges a base fee per signature, set by the protocol, plus an optional priority fee a wallet can add when the network is busy. A plain SOL or token transfer needs one signature. A token transfer to a wallet that has no account for that token yet also creates the account, which needs a rent-exempt deposit held in the new account (not burned). Solana in depth has its own site; this page covers the fee itself.
