SOL is the native coin of Solana. A Solana address is a 32-byte public key, written as a string of 32 to 44 letters and digits. Each Solana transaction pays a base fee of 5,000 lamports per signature, plus an optional priority fee. We credit a SOL top-up after 1 confirmation, the lowest count among our networks. ## How do I send SOL on Solana for a top-up? Start a top-up in your account and pick Solana (SOL). Then: 1. **Choose SOL on the Solana network** — On an exchange, withdraw the SOL coin itself. USDC or USDT on Solana are not accepted. 2. **Paste the address and the exact SOL amount** — Copy both from the payment page; the amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 3. **Keep a little SOL for the fee** — The fee is taken from the same wallet. Send the exact amount in one transaction. ## Which network must I use to send SOL? Use the Solana network, and nothing else. > **Check before you send SOL** SOL only: USDC or USDT on Solana sent to the Solana address does not top up your balance. No wrapped SOL and no SOL bridged to another network. Keep enough SOL for the fee, or the transfer fails. Send the exact amount in one transaction, within the 30 minutes shown. ## What does a SOL top-up cost? A Solana transaction pays a base fee of 5,000 lamports per signature, plus an optional priority fee, both in SOL. Wallets may add a priority fee when the network is busy. The hotel price is the same in every coin. We give no network fee figure until we have measured one. ## Does my SOL top-up keep its value until I book? The SOL price moves. The payment page locks the SOL amount and its rate for 30 minutes; after 1 confirmation your balance is in US dollars. ## Which wallet or exchange can I send SOL from? Keep a little more SOL than the amount shown: the fee is taken from the same wallet. On an exchange, withdraw the SOL coin on the Solana network. Do not withdraw USDC or USDT on Solana to this address: only SOL is accepted on Solana. ## Which other crypto travel sites accept SOL?

No. On Solana, we accept the SOL coin only. USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20) and USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20). A token sent on Solana to the SOL address does not top up your balance. ### Why does a SOL top-up need only 1 confirmation? It is our crediting rule for Solana: one confirmation, then the amount is credited in US dollars. The usual time for each network is on the [pay with crypto](https://staysats.com/pay/) page. ### What does a Solana transfer cost? The Solana documentation sets the base fee at 5,000 lamports per signature, paid in SOL, with an optional priority fee on top. The hotel price is the same in every coin, so SOL costs you only that network fee. ### Can I send SOL from a wallet that holds only the exact amount? Not from a self-custody wallet: the network fee is paid in SOL from the same wallet, so keep a little more than the amount shown. From an exchange, the withdrawal fee is handled by the exchange, but the exact amount must still arrive. ## Pay with another coin or network - [USDT (TRC-20)](https://staysats.com/pay/usdt-trc20/) - [USDT (ERC-20)](https://staysats.com/pay/usdt-erc20/) - [Bitcoin (BTC)](https://staysats.com/pay/bitcoin/) - [USDC (ERC-20)](https://staysats.com/pay/usdc-erc20/) - [Ether (ETH)](https://staysats.com/pay/ethereum/) - [Solana (SOL)](https://staysats.com/pay/solana/) - [Litecoin (LTC)](https://staysats.com/pay/litecoin/) ## Sources (checked October 12, 2026) 1.
