What is the cheapest exchange to buy Solana?

There is no single cheapest venue for SOL. It depends on your monthly volume, maker/taker mix, and any native-token discount. The published fee is usually the main cost on liquid majors. Check your profile in the FeeEdge calculator. 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.

† Conditional VIP tiers are excluded from the volume-only estimate. Confirm your account eligibility.

* Omni Spot Swap: 0.9% swap fee plus gas, not an orderbook maker/taker schedule. Confirm availability in the app.

† VIP counts spot volume in full and ordinary USDT perpetual volume at 0.4 times notional. GT discount is only modeled for entry spot.

† VIP uses 14-day volume, estimated from 30-day volume assuming evenly distributed activity. Hyperliquid spot volume counts twice.

Published entry-tier spot rates; volume tiers and native-token discounts can lower these further.

Trading SOL on perps

If you trade SOL with leverage, perpetual-futures fees are usually far lower than spot, but funding becomes a real cost. See the cheapest exchange for perps and the funding rates guide.
