Solana Priority Fee Tracker | Live Network Fee Data
Introduction
Monitor Solana network priority fees in real time. See current micro-lamport prices across all percentile levels — from minimum to maximum — so you can always set the optimal fee for your transaction type and urgency.
How Tracking Works
The Solana RPC method getRecentPrioritizationFees() returns priority fees from the past 150 blocks that successfully landed at least one transaction. This provides a snapshot of the minimum required fee and helps gauge market conditions for accurate fee estimation.
When to Use High Fees
During NFT mints, token launches, and high-volume trading sessions, network congestion drives up the optimal fee level. Tracking the 75th and 95th percentile in real time lets you respond instantly — ensuring your transactions confirm ahead of others bidding for the same block space.
The Solana priority fee tracker monitors fee levels across the past 150 blocks on mainnet. Key metrics include:
- Minimum: Lowest observed fee — for non-urgent transactions
- Low (25th): Budget-friendly with reasonable confirmation times
- Medium (50th): Recommended for most applications
- High (75th): For time-sensitive operations
- Very High (95th): For critical operations and MEV strategies
- Maximum: Highest observed — only for extreme urgency
Fees are localized by program — fees for DEX swaps differ from simple transfers. Always check program-specific data when possible.
