Understanding gasless Solana transactions in Phantom
Transactions on Solana require a small amount of SOL to pay network fees.
For eligible transactions, Phantom may be able to complete the transaction even if you don't have enough SOL. Instead of charging the network fee separately, Phantom deducts the fee from the token used in the transaction.
Gasless transactions are available only for eligible transactions involving verified Solana tokens.
How gasless Solana transactions work #
Gasless transactions happen automatically when your transaction is eligible. You don't need to enable the feature or change any settings.
If your transaction isn't eligible, you'll need enough SOL in your wallet to pay the network fee.
Gasless swaps #
Phantom automatically uses a gasless swap when all of the following are true:
- The swap is worth at least $0.30.
- The token you're swapping into is verified.
- You're using the standard swap flow.
Gasless swaps aren't available if:
- You set a manual priority fee (tip).
- You use exact output, where you enter the amount you want to receive instead of the amount you want to pay.
Gasless transfers #
Phantom automatically uses a gasless send when all of the following are true:
- The transfer is worth at least $0.30.
- The token you're sending is verified.
Gasless deposits into perps #
You can fund your perp balance without holding SOL.
Phantom deducts the network fee from the token you're depositing. A small amount of SOL (approximately $0.001 to $0.20) may remain in your wallet as a buffer.
Fees #
For eligible gasless transactions, Phantom deducts a flat fee from the token used in the transaction. The fee covers the cost of submitting the transaction to the Solana network.
The fee is included in the transaction and isn't charged separately.
