Solana Fee History – Historical Transaction Fee Data

Understanding Solana fee history helps users and developers anticipate cost trends and make better decisions. FeeSol aggregates historical fee data by epoch, day, and week to give you a clear picture of how Solana fees have evolved over time.

In November 2024, the average fees for non-vote Solana transactions reached an all-time high of over 0.0003 SOL — driven by the explosion of memecoin activity on platforms like Pump.Fun and intense competition from on-chain trading bots. Despite this spike, median fees remained stable, confirming that most regular user transactions were unaffected.

Epoch-Level Fee Statistics

Solana processes transactions in epochs of approximately two days each. In a recent epoch, the network generated over 37,000 SOL in fees from non-vote user transactions — roughly 14,800 SOL per day. Of all base fees collected, 50% are permanently burned. The most recent epoch saw approximately 1,493 SOL burned — representing a meaningful deflationary counterforce against Solana's annual staking inflation.

Key historical fee metrics tracked by FeeSol for each Solana epoch and daily period.

• Total SOL fees collected from user (non-vote) transactions
• Average fee per transaction including priority fees
• SOL burned from base fees (50% of all base fees)
• Priority fee share of total block revenue per epoch

Fee Trends and Market Insights

Priority fees made up 44.1% of block revenue in recent data, with Jito tips accounting for 13.4%. This means that more than half of all validator revenue now comes from priority fees and MEV tips rather than the fixed base fee alone — reflecting the growing sophistication of on-chain activity on Solana.

For stakers, understanding fee distribution matters. Validators receive 50% of base fees plus 100% of priority fees. After deducting commission, stakers earn rewards that include a share of this fee revenue, making Solana staking yield partially dependent on network activity levels.
