Glossary / Solana Core
The native cryptocurrency of the Solana blockchain — used to pay transaction fees, rent, and stake to validators.
SOL is the native token of Solana. Every transaction on Solana requires SOL to pay gas (network compute costs) and often a small rent-exempt deposit. Staking SOL to validators earns network yield and secures the chain.
On DEXes, SOL is the most common quote asset — most Solana meme coins pair against SOL on Raydium. Wrapped SOL (WSOL) is the SPL Token version used inside DeFi programs that expect SPL tokens on both sides of a swap.
The fastest way to internalize a term is to see it live on a Solana token you know. Paste any mint below to run a public Launch Score.
