Priority Fees

This is how you ensure that your predictions are actually accepted!

With the increasing adaptation and use of the Solana chain, it may happen that the blockchain is "congested" and not all transactions can be processed. Although these problems have been addressed in Spring 2024, the feature is of course still there!

Solana is no ghostchain pal! Check the network status here: https://explorer.solana.com/

In this case, you can increase the priority fees in the settings.

Choose between Low, Medium, High or set your own fee

Although this increases the chances of a transaction being processed, it does not guarantee that your transaction will land 100%. From a certain threshold value, it is irrelevant whether you pay 0.01 SOL or 10 SOL as a priority fee, as Solana still has room for improvement in this area. So don't pay too much!
