Solana operates a local fee market rather than a global one: priority fee competition is scoped to transactions that contend for the same writable accounts, so congestion on one hot account (e.g., a popular AMM pool) does not raise fees for unrelated transactions. This account-centric model means that a highly contested token mint or DEX pool can require very high priority fees to land while other transactions proceed cheaply in parallel. The local fee market is enforced by the scheduler's per-account fee-priority ordering.

Rama

Tarifa de Prioridad

An optional additional fee paid on top of the base fee to increase the likelihood that a transaction is processed quickly by the current leader, expressed as a price in micro-lamports per compute unit (CU). The total priority fee equals (compute unit price × compute unit limit) / 1,000,000 lamports. Leaders sort transactions in their queue by fee-per-CU, so setting a competitive priority fee is the primary mechanism for ensuring reliable transaction landing during congestion.

Account Locking (Read/Write)

The mechanism by which Solana's scheduler reserves access to accounts for the duration of a transaction's execution, granting either shared read locks (multiple transactions can hold simultaneously) or exclusive write locks (only one transaction at a time). Before execution, the runtime inspects every transaction's declared account list and grants or denies locks accordingly, preventing data races without requiring a global mutex. Transactions that cannot acquire all required locks are queued or dropped, making correct account declaration in transaction instructions critical for both correctness and landing probability.

Inflación

Solana's protocol-level mechanism for issuing new SOL to reward validators and stakers, starting at an initial annual inflation rate of 8% at genesis (Q1 2021) and decreasing by 15% of the current rate each year until reaching a long-term fixed rate of 1.5% per year. New SOL is minted each epoch proportionally to each validator's active stake and distributed as staking rewards; 50% of transaction base fees are burned, creating partial deflationary pressure. The net effective inflation rate depends on the proportion of SOL actively staked.

Epoch Schedule

The configuration that defines the length of an epoch in slots and governs how epoch boundaries are calculated on a Solana cluster. On mainnet-beta, each epoch is 432,000 slots (approximately 2-3 days at 400ms per slot). The epoch schedule determines when staking rewards are distributed, when stake activations and deactivations take effect, and when the leader schedule is recalculated. It is set at genesis and queryable via the getEpochSchedule RPC method.

Redlocal-fee-market

Local Fee Market

Solana's per-account fee pricing model where priority fee competition is scoped to transactions contending for the same writable accounts, rather than applying a single global fee to all transactions. Congestion on a popular DEX pool or NFT mint drives up priority fees only for transactions touching those specific accounts, while unrelated transactions can land cheaply in parallel. This design is a direct consequence of Solana's parallel execution model and account-level locking.

Red

Mainnet Beta

Solana's primary production cluster where real SOL and real economic activity occur; the "beta" designation reflects the network's ongoing protocol development despite being fully live since March 2020. It uses the same architecture as other clusters but with real validator stakes, live staking rewards, and permanent on-chain state. All production dApps, tokens, and NFTs exist on Mainnet Beta.

Red

Devnet

A persistent public Solana cluster intended for application development and testing, running the same software version as Mainnet Beta but with no real economic value. Devnet SOL can be freely airdropped via the CLI or faucet APIs, and the ledger may be reset periodically by Solana Labs. Developers use Devnet to test programs and integrations before deploying to Mainnet Beta.

Abrir término

Red

Testnet

A public Solana cluster used primarily by the Solana core team and validators to test new software releases, performance benchmarks, and network upgrades under real network conditions before they reach Mainnet Beta. Testnet SOL has no monetary value, and the ledger is reset more frequently than Devnet; it is less suitable for application development and more suited for validator operators validating their infrastructure.

Red

TPS (Transacciones por Segundo)

The rate at which a Solana cluster processes and commits transactions; Solana's theoretical maximum exceeds 65,000 TPS due to its parallel execution model, though real-world sustained throughput on Mainnet Beta typically ranges from 2,000–5,000 non-vote TPS under normal load. Vote transactions (used for consensus) make up a significant portion of all on-chain activity and are counted separately. High TPS is enabled by Proof of History timestamps, Sealevel parallel execution, and Gulf Stream mempool-less forwarding.
