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.
Only verified tokens on Solana are eligible.
Fees
Gasless transactions in Phantom charge a flat fee that covers the actual cost of the transaction on the network. The fee is deducted from the token being token you're sending, swapping, or depositing. It is not charged separately.
How gasless swaps work
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 transaction must be worth at least $0.30.
- The token you're swapping into is verified.
- 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.

- The transaction must be worth at least $0.30.
- The token you're sending is verified.
How gasless perp deposits work
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.
