Pricing
What every SolKnife operation costs, priced at this moment. You see the total before you sign, and nothing is charged until you do.
SOL = $77.38 (coinbase, cached up to 10 min). Live USD figures recompute on every request.
Tools with no SolKnife cut
- Token safety scan — Rug-check any Solana token. No wallet, no signup.
- Wallet portfolio — View holdings and plan composition. Auto compose has its own fee.
- LP positions — View your Meteora DLMM positions. Read-only.
- DLMM pool checker — Screen any Meteora DLMM pool before LPing.
- DLMM pool comparator — Compare every Meteora pool for a token side by side.
- Create token account — Create an Associated Token Account. SolKnife takes no cut.
- Arweave upload — Pin a file to Arweave. Your wallet pays Irys directly; SolKnife takes no cut.
You still pay Solana network fees + any rent on accounts you create (refundable when you close them). The Arweave upload tool additionally has a pass-through cost to Irys for pinning the file to Arweave — paid by your wallet to Irys directly, no SolKnife cut.
Token lifecycle
| Operation | Fee | USD | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create mint | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Mint a new SPL or Token-2022 mint (any extension set). |
| Mint supply | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Mint additional supply of an existing mint you control. |
| Set / update metadata | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Set or update on-chain Metaplex metadata for a mint. |
| Revoke authority | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Revoke a mint's mint and / or freeze authority. |
| Change authority | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Transfer a mint's mint and / or freeze authority to a new address. |
Confidential transfer (Token-2022)
| Operation | Fee | USD | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confidential deposit | 0.020 SOL | $1.55 | Move public balance into the confidential pending account. |
| Apply pending | 0.015 SOL | $1.16 | Sweep pending → available. Called once per incoming transfer. |
| Confidential withdraw | 0.025 SOL | $1.93 | Move confidential balance back to public. |
| Confidential transfer | 0.025 SOL | $1.93 | Party-to-party confidential transfer (the marquee op). |
| Reclaim orphan proof rent | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Close abandoned ZK context-state accounts and recover their rent. |
Confidential transfer uses ZK proofs. The first time you use it on a mint, you also fund a one-time ElGamal pubkey on chain. Solana network fees and rent for the encrypted account come on top of the SolKnife fee. How it works.
Multisig (Squads v4)
| Operation | Fee | USD | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create multisig | 0.010 SOL | $0.774 | Set up a new Squads multisig (members + threshold). |
| Propose | 0.00500 SOL | $0.387 | Create a proposal: a transfer or a config change (add/remove member, change threshold). Voting and executing carry no SolKnife fee. |
Creating a multisig also pays Squads' own protocol creation fee and account rent. Approving, rejecting, and executing proposals carry no SolKnife fee, only the network fee.
Cleanup
| Operation | Fee | USD | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burn NFT | 0.00100 SOL | $0.077 | Burn one NFT and return its rent to the holder. (per NFT) |
Cleanup (percentage-based)
| Operation | Rate | BPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reclaim rent | 10.00% | 1000 bps | Close empty token accounts and recover their rent. (of rent recovered) |
Swap
| Operation | Rate | BPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swap | 0.15% | 15 bps | Jupiter swap, with the platform fee accruing as wrapped SOL. (of amount swapped) |
| Portfolio compose | 0.70% | 70 bps | Auto compose a target portfolio allocation through Jupiter Router. (of compose swap volume) |
Swap fee accrues to a wSOL token account, not the plain-SOL treasury. Quoted by Jupiter; what you actually pay matches the quote.

Where the money goes
A single plain-SOL wallet receives every fee on this page except the swap fee (which accrues as wSOL in a separate token account for accounting reasons). All recipients are public on chain.

Frequently asked
- Why charge a fee at all?
- SolKnife builds unsigned transactions, runs structural verifiers, hosts the rate-budgeted RPC clients and Jupiter integrations, and ships a UI that ages well. Server, RPC, and development costs are real. The fee schedule above is the honest cost of keeping the tools running and maintained.
- Are these fees standard for Solana?
- Roughly. Most no-code Solana token creators charge in the same order of magnitude per mint creation, and swap fees in the 20–50 bps range are typical for routing-aggregator wrappers. SolKnife's posture is to be transparent about the numbers and consistent across tools — no surprise upcharges on a per-extension or per-feature basis.
- Can I opt out of fees?
- Use the no-cut tools listed above, or self-host (the project is maintained as a deployable Next.js + Docker app, with every fee env-driven — set them to 0 on your own deploy and route through your own RPC). The hosted SolKnife instance you're reading this on funds itself through the schedule above; the open code path lets you skip it.
- What about the Solana network fee and account rent?
- Out of SolKnife's control — Solana charges the network fee (a few thousand lamports per signed tx) regardless of which UI you use. Account rent is a SOL deposit Solana itself requires for a new on-chain account; it's refundable when the account is later closed (and the reclaim-rent tool handles closing empty token accounts in batch).
- Why is there no SolKnife fee on Arweave upload?
- The upload flow is strictly non-custodial: your wallet pays Irys directly via
@irys/web-upload-solana, and the file never reaches SolKnife's backend. There is no SolKnife relay to charge for. You pay Irys for the Arweave pinning cost (usually under a cent for a 100 KB image) and the Solana network fee on each of the two signed transactions; that's it. - When are fees deducted?
- In the same transaction as the operation, never separately. For a swap, the fee accrues to the wSOL fee account inside the Jupiter route's tx. For a mint creation, the fee transfer is one of the instructions in the build tx your wallet signs. For batched flows (reclaim-rent, burn-NFT), the fee is per-item, deducted in the same per-item tx. Nothing is charged out-of-band.
- Can the fee schedule change?
- Yes, by the operator at deploy time — every fee is an env var. The numbers on this page reflect this deployment's current configuration; check back here (or hit /api/pricing) to confirm before signing. SolKnife's build/review screens always show the current fee in the quote, so you always see what you'll pay before signing — even if the numbers shift after this page was last cached.
