Costs (mainnet)

Action	SOL	USD

Live SOL price refreshed every 30s. Devnet is free aside from base tx fees. Custom short links are 0.01 SOL. Loan rates are protocol APYs, not platform fees.

Token launch (/token)

Create at /token. Only Meteora has a sol.new take (0.005 SOL, promo can waive). Everything else is protocol rent + their trade fee.

Pad	Launch SOL	Trade fee	Quote / graduation
Meteora DBC Hard min 0.045 SOL: 0.040 rent + 0.005 sol.new (promo waives 0.005). Buyers pay 1% per swap.	0.045 SOL	1.00%	SOL / DAMM v2 at ~69 SOL
Pump.fun No sol.new fee. ~0.008 SOL on-chain rent for mint + curve + metadata.	~0.008 SOL	1.00%	SOL / Pump curve, then Raydium / PumpSwap
Bags Same create path as Pump. No sol.new fee. ~0.008 SOL rent.	~0.008 SOL	1.00%	SOL / Same pump.fun curve
Jupiter Studio No sol.new fee. You pay tx rent (~0.03 SOL). Trades 1%. Curve is USDC, LP locked.	~0.03 SOL	1.00%	USDC / Meteora at 69,000 USDC MC (starts 16,000 USDC)
Raydium LaunchLab No sol.new fee. ~0.03 SOL rent to create. 85 SOL is the curve raise, not the create price.	~0.03 SOL	-	SOL / Raydium CPMM at 85 SOL (JustSendit)
Genesis TGE No sol.new fee. ~0.01 SOL rent for Genesis accounts. Raised SOL goes to the creator wallet.	~0.01 SOL	-	SOL / Claim after deposit window
MetaDAO ~0.05 SOL rent to create the DAO. Proposals need 10 USDC + 1,000 tokens in AMMs first.	~0.05 SOL	-	USDC + token / n/a (futarchy DAO, not a bonding curve)

Gifts

Create at /gift. Claim at /c/<8+ chars>. Sender gets a short code. The claim seed is stored server-side so chat apps cannot chop a hash. Incomplete codes say ask them to resend.

POST /api/gift/create → unsigned funding tx + claimUrl
Sign and send the transaction with your passkey wallet
POST /api/gift to register status (public gift key only)
Share the claim link privately (bearer secret)

Short links

Creator: /link. Canonical URL: https://sol.new/link/<code>. Legacy /l/… redirects with 308. Random codes free; custom codes 0.01 SOL (passkey or Solana Pay QR).

Lend & borrow

/loan — supply for yield or borrow against collateral on mainnet. SOL is auto-wrapped to WSOL. Check balances before submitting. Protocol liquidation risk applies — not financial advice.

Usernames

Claim at /creator/edit. Public profile: /u/<name>. One unique handle per wallet.

Storage URLs

https://sol.new/metadata/<id>.json
Token / NFT metadata JSON. Immutable cache.
https://sol.new/images/<id>.<ext>
Image bytes (R2 / blob), immutable cache.

What we store

Wallet — public key + (optional) WebAuthn credential id.
Tokens / NFTs / Multisigs — name, symbol, mint/pda, creator wallet.
Gifts — gift public key, sender, amount, status (never the claim secret).
Short links — code, target URL, clicks, payment sig for custom codes.
Profiles — bio, socials, optional unique username.
Metadata / images — uploaded JSON and file refs.

We never see or store the private key for passkey-derived wallets.

Compressed vs Standard NFT

Standard — full Metaplex Token Metadata. ~0.02 SOL. Flagship pieces.
Compressed — Bubblegum cNFT. ~0.001 SOL platform fee. Collections / drops.

Networks

Mainnet (live) — real SOL; costs as above. Loan markets require live.
Devnet — faucet via Get; most create flows work with test SOL.
