about priority fees
What
They Are
Priority fees on Solana are optional fees priced in micro-lamports per Compute Unit. They are added on top of the base transaction fee to increase the likelihood that the current leader processes your transaction ahead of others. Transactions with higher priority fees are placed first in the validator's execution queue.
How
They Work
Priority fee formula: ceil(CU_price × CU_limit / 1,000,000) lamports. The base fee is 5,000 lamports per signature — 50% burned, 50% to the validator. The priority fee goes 100% to the validator, directly incentivizing them to process your transaction first.
