Solana: apps, tokens and NFTs

Solana is a network for transfers, token trading and applications. SOL pays for transactions and helps secure the network through staking.

Swaps, token launches and NFTs

Swaps and liquidity

Jupiter ↗

Metis routes through DEXes, while JupiterZ requests market-maker quotes. A swap can use several liquidity sources.

Source ↗

Raydium ↗

CPMM swaps between two token reserves using x × y = k. Liquidity providers deposit assets into the pool.

Source ↗

Token launches

LaunchLab ↗

A new token first trades on a bonding curve. Reaching its funding target opens the transition to a Raydium CPMM pool.

Source ↗

NFTs: creation and trading

Metaplex Core ↗

An NFT’s owner, name and metadata URI share one Solana account. Plugins add royalties, attributes and collection rules.

Source ↗

Tensor ↗

Bid on a collection or an individual NFT. Shared SOL escrow funds several bids; one fill reduces the balance available for the others.

How a LaunchLab token reaches a DEX

Buys raise the price. Sells lower it.

Buying removes tokens from the reserve: the next token costs more. Selling returns tokens and lowers the price. The curve defines pricing, not price growth over time.

CPMM trading starts after migration

Reaching the target and moving reserves are separate events. A migration transaction transfers the reserves to CPMM.

Swaps continue in a Raydium pool

New launches migrate to CPMM. Trading on the original curve stops, with no return to LaunchLab.

Wallet → SOL → transfer

Your first transfer needs a Solana-compatible wallet and SOL on mainnet. Devnet is for testing; its SOL does not replace funds on mainnet.

01

Choose a wallet

Create a Solana address in a wallet.

02

Funding

When withdrawing from an exchange, select the Solana network and a recipient address on that network. Keep some SOL for subsequent transactions.

03

Check the transfer

Open the transaction signature in Solana Explorer to check the transfer result.

What costs SOL

Transaction fees and the account storage reserve are separate costs. Creating a new token account requires an additional SOL balance.

01

Base fee

The base fee is 5,000 lamports per signature. More signatures increase the total.

02

Priority fee

An optional fee increases a transaction’s scheduling priority. Review the total before signing.

03

Account reserve

A new associated token account needs a minimum storage balance. This reserve can be recovered when the account is closed.

Facts and sources

A ticker is not a token address

A Solana token is identified by its mint address. A name or ticker alone does not identify the asset you received.

01

Mint

The mint is the token’s shared identifier. Compare its address with the issuer’s source before a swap or transfer.

02

Token account

A token balance is held in a token account associated with its owner and a specific mint.

03

Issuer authorities

Mint authority permits new issuance; freeze authority permits freezing token accounts. Check whether these authorities remain enabled.

Facts and sources

From delegation to withdrawal

Delegating SOL increases a validator’s consensus weight. The owner retains control of the delegated funds.

01

Delegate

SOL moves into a stake account delegated to a chosen validator.

02

Earn rewards

Rewards depend on inflation, total stake, validator performance and commission. The yield is not fixed.

03

Withdraw SOL

Before withdrawing, deactivate the delegation and wait for the inactive state. Withdrawal is not instant.

Trading terminals

Maestro

https://t.me/maestro

Details and supported networks

Buys a token from a pasted contract address. Beyond a manual trade it carries limit orders, auto-snipe, copytrade, signals and a bridge.

The fee is 1% on every buy and sell; transfers are not taxed. On Solana it is taken inside the same transaction, on other chains it accrues per Telegram account and is charged once unpaid fees pass the chain minimum. Keys: the documentation cites AES encryption, the Terms of Service say the provider retains the private keys.

Networks

Usage conditions: The Terms name the United States and Canada as a Restricted Location; the page with the rest of that list, maestrobots.com/restrictedlocations, is referenced by the Terms themselves and returns 404 as of 18 September 2026.

Based

https://t.me/based_eth_bot

Details and supported networks

Buys a token from a pasted contract address. It carries copytrading, take-profit and stop-loss, limit orders, DCA and a sniper marked as EVM-only.

The fee is 1% per transaction. Keys: the bot provides the wallet, the documentation says the private key is not stored in clear and describes no export button. Based publishes no Terms, so no jurisdiction limits are named anywhere.

Cove

https://t.me/cove_trading_bot

Details and supported networks

Trades off a single USDC balance on Solana and buys from a pasted contract address; buy and sell confirmations are off by default.

The fee is tiered: 1% on most chains, up to 2% on an Ethereum or HyperEVM buy, and Solana sells step from 10% down to 1%. Gas is sponsored up to $5 per trade and the bot asks for the surplus above that. Keys: the Privy-backed wallet is yours and the private key can be exported.

Usage conditions: The Terms, last updated on 11 September 2026, prohibit use from the United States, China and other listed jurisdictions, and prohibit using a VPN to get around that. But it works. At your own risk, folks.

Banana Gun

https://t.me/BananaGun_bot

Details and supported networks

Contract-address buys, limit orders, auto-sniping, copy trading and DCA. Balances and positions sync with Banana Pro; create a wallet in the bot or import one with its private key.

Robinhood Chain trades cost 1%. On Ethereum, manual buys and limit orders cost 0.5%, auto-sniping 1%. Swaps between USDT, USDC and DAI stablecoins on EVM have a stated 0% service fee. Gas and DEX fees are separate; there is no subscription.

GMGN

https://gmgn.ai

Details and supported networks

Web trading with charts, wallet labels, contract checks, limit orders, take-profit, stop-loss and copy trading. Connect an external wallet or sign in through Telegram to use a GMGN wallet.

The service charges 1% per buy or sell, including copy trades. Gas, priority fees, validator tips and venue fees are separate. With an external browser wallet, private keys remain with the user.

Networks

Usage conditions: SOL withdrawals from a GMGN Telegram-linked wallet require 2FA setup and an address whitelist. A new or changed whitelist triggers a 3-hour withdrawal hold; rebinding Google Authenticator triggers a 24-hour hold.

OKX DEX

https://web3.okx.com/dex-swap

Details and supported networks

A web terminal with DEX aggregation, charts, wallet tracking and copy trading. Swap from a connected wallet; limit orders on supported networks require Trader Mode in OKX Wallet.

Interface fees range from 0% to 0.5% by token pair. Gas and DEX fees are separate. Bind TONSDOT to a supported wallet for 5% off the interface fee: 0.5% becomes 0.475%.

Solana questions

1Does a failed transaction still cost a fee?

Yes. When transaction execution fails, state changes are reverted but the fee is still charged.

2How do I distinguish tokens with the same ticker?

Compare the mint address with the issuer’s source. Names and tickers are not unique identifiers.

3Can delegated SOL be withdrawn immediately?

Deactivate the delegation first. Funds can be withdrawn once they become inactive.
