# Priority Fee

### **What is a Priority Fee?**

The **Priority Fee** helps speed up transactions by rewarding validators for processing your trade faster. This is crucial during high-traffic periods or when trading popular tokens.

### **Recommended Priority Fee Settings**

* **Solana (SOL Priority Fee)**:
  * **0.0001 - 0.0005 SOL** → Low urgency.
  * **0.001 - 0.01 SOL** → High-priority transactions.
* **EVM Networks - Gwei Priority Fee**:
  * **1-5 Gwei** → Standard priority.
  * **5-20 Gwei** → High priority for fast execution.
  * **20+ Gwei** → For highly competitive transactions.

### **When to Increase the Priority Fee?**

* **High network congestion** (e.g., during a token launch).
* **Competing for a limited supply of tokens.**
* **Executing large trades where timing is critical.**

Using **dynamic priority fees** ensures your transaction is processed efficiently without overspending on fees.
