Adjusting Transfer costs to SPL Token on Solana: a breakdown guide
As a developer Solana, you have created a new token in the development network (Devnet) and managed to define the transfer costs. However, you encounter problems when transferring your tokens to ghost portfolios or other external wallets. In this article, we will immerse ourselves in the details of the definition of transfer fees on SPL tokens on Solana, will approach common problems and provide solutions.
Understand the transfer costs on soil
On Solana, transfer fees are a mechanism that guarantees that developers and users pay transactions fairly. The transfer fees are currently set at 0.0005 soil per transaction. These costs are intended to encourage users to use the network and reward developers with their transaction costs.
Adjustment of transfer costs to SPL Token
To define the transfer fees on your SPL token, follow these steps:
- Open the CLI Solana
: First of all, you must open the CLI Solana (command line interface) in your terminal.
- Create a new portfolio and add your token
: Create a new portfolio for your project and import the private key to your token SPL.
- Configure the details of the transaction : Configure the details of the transaction such as the address, amount and gas limit of the recipient using the following command:
`'
Solana Create-Wallet-Name
Solana Add-Toking -Toker-Address
'
Establish transfer fees in CLI
Once your wallet and token are configured, you can change the transfer costs by creating a new file (for example,Transfer_fee.Conf) with the following content:
Ini
[transfer]
Amount = 0.0005
Gas_Limit = 10000
'
Addition of transfer fees to the ghost portfolio
When transferring tokens from your Solana portfolio to Phantom, you must also define the transfer costs in your transfer.conf file.
- Open the
Transfer.conffile: Locate the file ‘Transfer.confin your project directory.
- Update the transfer costs : Add the following line to the file:
'
[transfer]
Amount = 0.0005
Gas_Limit = 10000
'
- Restart the Solana Cli and Phantom : Restart both the Solana CLI and the ghost portfolio.
Check the transfer costs on Phantom
After updating yourTransfer.conffile, check that the transfer costs are correctly defined on Phantom:
- Open the Phantom portfolio : Launch Phantom from the command line or via an application.
- Access the settings: Access Settings> Preferences
- Transfer parameters : Select "Transfer" and make sure that "gas limit" and "transfer costs" are defined as you wish.
Conclusion
The definition of transfer fees on the SPP to Solana tokens is a simple process, but it can be delicate if you are not familiar with the configuration of filesTransfer.conf` or a ghost wallet. By following these steps and in troubleshooting advice, you should be able to define your transfer costs successfully and start transferring tokens to Phantom wallets.
Additional advice
- Make sure to update your Solana Cli and Gantom Wallet configurations regularly to ensure compatibility.
- Consider using a separate configuration file for each project or token to follow several settings.
- If you encounter problems, see the official Solana documentation and the Phantom Wallet documentation for more information.
