Base Fee
The fixed, non-negotiable minimum fee charged per transaction signature on Solana, currently set at 5,000 lamports (0.000005 SOL) per signature. A transaction with N signatures pays N × 5,000 lamports as a base fee regardless of compute usage or network load. Fifty percent of the base fee is burned and fifty percent is paid to the current slot leader, making Solana mildly deflationary with usage.
