Cheapest perp DEX for SOL

As of October 6, 2026, Lighter leads SOL all-in cost at 0.0034% (p50, 24h window), measured across 11 providers.

The cheapest perp DEX for SOL on this benchmark sits at 0.0034% all-in (p50, 24h) for a $1000 SOL long 10x. SOL-PERP books are thinner than ETH or BTC on every venue, so the spread plus impact component carries more weight in the all-in figure and a 5 bps taker venue can land above a 0 bps taker venue once the orderbook is walked. Lighter, Hyperliquid and dYdX v4 quote SOL-PERP natively; GMX v2 trades SOL as a synthetic on its Arbitrum deployment.
