Solana's ultra-low transaction fees comparison released: surpassing Base, BNB, and Polygon, becoming the preferred execution layer for high-frequency DeFi.
The latest on-chain fee comparison data shows that in mid-January 2026, among mainstream blockchain networks, Solana's median transaction fee ranks second lowest, only behind Avalanche, and is significantly lower than high-transaction-volume networks like Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. This result further highlights Solana's structural advantages in high throughput and low-cost execution layers.
From a data structure perspective, Solana's fee curve has long been at the bottom of the logarithmic coordinate chart, indicating that its low fees are not a temporary phenomenon but are determined by its underlying architecture. The network's design, which features parallel execution and high TPS, allows it to absorb traffic spikes during increased transaction demand, unlike rollup-dependent networks that shift the pressure into higher per-transaction costs.
