Solana native transfer fee is $0.000365 (p50, 24h). Solana charges a hard 5000 lamports per signature base, plus an optional priority fee priced in micro-lamports per compute unit; a SOL transfer consumes around 200 CUs, so the priority component is usually dwarfed by the base. At current SOL prices the headline fee sits well under one cent on non-congested blocks. Measured via `getRecentPrioritizationFees` percentiles.
