Priority Fees

Understanding and optimizing Solana priority fees

How Priority Fees Work

Solana uses priority fees to determine transaction ordering within a block. Higher fees generally result in faster confirmation, but overpaying wastes resources.

NEXO Fee Optimization

Our system analyzes real-time network conditions to calculate the optimal priority fee for your transaction.

Fee Strategies

  • Economy - Lowest fees, longer confirmation time
  • Standard - Balanced fees and speed
  • Fast - Higher fees for quick confirmation
  • Instant - Maximum priority for time-sensitive transactions
typescript
// Set fee strategy
const tx = await client.execute({
  transaction: myTransaction,
  feeStrategy: 'standard', // or 'economy' | 'fast' | 'instant'
  maxFee: 0.001 // SOL - optional cap
});

Dynamic Adjustment

NEXO continuously monitors network congestion and adjusts fee recommendations in real-time. During high-traffic periods, we automatically increase fees to maintain confirmation times.
