Solana transactions usually require a small amount of SOL to cover network fees. If your wallet doesn't have enough SOL, the transaction will fail. With gasless transactions, Phantom deducts the network fee from the token you're sending, swapping, or depositing instead, so you don't need SOL to proceed.
Gasless transactions are available on the Phantom mobile app and browser extension (version 26.9.0 and above). This feature may not be available to all users yet.
Only verified tokens on Solana are eligible. Transactions must be worth at least $0.30.
Gasless swaps
Phantom switches to a gasless swap automatically when all of the following are true:
- Your SOL balance is too low to cover the network fee.
- The token you're swapping into is verified and has a market cap above $50,000.
- You're not using any advanced options, specifically:
- A manual priority fee (called a "tip").
- Exact output mode, which is when you type a specific amount into the You Receive field instead of the You Pay field.
If any of these conditions aren't met, the standard swap process applies.
Gasless sends
Phantom switches to a gasless send automatically when your SOL balance is too low to cover the network fee and the token you're sending is verified.
Gasless perps deposits
You can deposit into Phantom perps without holding SOL. Phantom deducts the fee from the token you're depositing. A small amount of SOL ($0.001–$0.20) may be left in your wallet as a buffer.
Fees
Gasless transactions charge a flat fee that covers the actual cost of the transaction on the network. The fee is deducted from the token being transacted, not charged separately.
Typical fee ranges:
- Standard transactions: as low as $0.001
- Transactions requiring account creation: $0.20–$0.30
- During periods of network congestion: up to $0.50–$1.00
