What is the cheapest exchange to buy Solana?

For SOL spot, the lowest base taker fees among the 33 venues FeeEdge tracks come from MEXC, Bitfinex and Backpack. SOL is liquid on the major venues, so the published trading fee is usually the main cost, but the SOL network withdrawal fee is small and worth checking if you self-custody.

Is it cheaper to trade Solana on spot or perps?

Perpetual-futures fees on SOL are typically much lower than spot fees on the same venue, but perps add funding costs and liquidation risk. If you simply want to buy and hold SOL, spot is the right market and the fee table below applies.
