Frequently asked questions about Solana
What is native SOL?
Native SOL is the base token of the Solana blockchain, used for fees, staking, and rent on Solana accounts. It is not an SPL token wrapper.
Which wallets support SOL from Allblu?
Any Solana wallet that accepts standard mainnet addresses, including Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and hardware wallets with Solana support.
Can I swap USDC directly to SOL?
Yes. Routes from stablecoins and major L1 assets into native SOL are available with fees shown upfront.
Do I need SOL for SPL token transfers?
Yes. SOL covers transaction fees and account rent for most SPL activity, so holding a SOL balance is essential on Solana.
How fast are SOL swaps?
Solana itself confirms quickly, but total swap time depends on the source asset's confirmation requirements. Your quote includes an estimate.
Is bridged SOL the same as native SOL?
No. Bridged representations on other chains follow different contracts. Allblu settles native SOL on Solana mainnet.
What is account rent on Solana?
Solana charges rent for on-chain data storage. SOL covers those costs along with transaction fees for SPL token activity.
