About the network
SOL

Solana

since 2020 · own network, account model

Why Solana, who needs it, and how this network’s rules differ from the rest — short and to the point.

What for
Cheap stablecoin transfers, DEX, NFT — anything where speed and transaction price matter.
Who uses it
Memecoin and DEX traders, USDC holders, users of apps built on Solana.
Quirk
Rent for storage: every account holds a minimum SOL balance, and each token on an address has its own separate account (ATA).
Pitfalls

Four Solana rules worth knowing before you send

Not abstract “crypto risks,” but the rules of this network. For each — what happens, and how Mitilena shows it before the Send button.

Pitfall 01

Rent: you cannot send everything to zero

Every address must keep a minimum SOL as “rent” for space on the network — otherwise the account is deleted. You cannot send the full balance; the first token transfer to a new recipient creates a new account (ATA) and costs about 0.002 SOL on top of the fee.

How we do it
We calculate rent and show how much SOL is actually spendable. When you send a token to a new recipient, we add the account-creation cost before you sign.
Pitfall 02

Spam tokens with phishing

Anyone can send a token or NFT to any address with a note like “you were credited — claim on the site.” The site asks you to sign a transaction — and drains everything.

How we do it
Ignore unfamiliar tokens you did not buy — they hold no money; they are bait. Mitilena’s signing screen shows what you are signing and lets you reject it.
Pitfall 03

Congestion: a transaction can simply vanish

In peak hours Solana can drop a transaction: the transfer did not hang — it disappeared. Send again after a few minutes.

How we do it
The network fee is fractions of a cent. The wallet sets it automatically: in normal hours the transfer goes through on the first try. If it vanished under load — check the balance (it did not change) and send again.
Pitfall 04

Gas in SOL even for USDC

As on any network with tokens: a USDC transfer is paid in SOL. Without SOL on the address, tokens do not move; with rent in mind, a SOL minimum must always stay.

How we do it
We calculate the fee and rent before you sign and warn if SOL is short. Top up SOL via in-wallet swap.

What exists

Gas
A token transfer is paid in SOL; the first transfer to a recipient adds rent for creating their ATA for that token.
Freeze
Circle and Tether can freeze an address. Nobody can freeze SOL.
Fakes
Tokens named USDT and USDC are minted in batches. Check the contract address on the token card; unsolicited unfamiliar tokens are bait.

FAQ

What people ask about Solana

Why can’t I send the full SOL balance?

The network requires a minimum SOL on the address — rent for space. Mitilena shows the spendable balance above that.

What is the fee on Solana?

Fractions of a cent per transfer. The first token transfer to a new recipient adds about 0.002 SOL to create their account.

I received a token I did not buy. What is it?

Spam with phishing. It holds no money; the “claim” site will drain whatever you sign. Leave it alone.

The transfer did not go through and vanished. What now?

In peak hours the network can drop a transaction. Check the balance — it did not change — and send again after a few minutes.
