Solana Lamports to SOL Conversion — Quick Reference

Short answer

1 SOL = exactly 1,000,000,000 lamports (1e9). Native SOL balances and transaction fees are stored as integers in lamports.

RPC and Solscan show lamports; wallets show SOL. Misreading units causes wrong fee and rent estimates.

Key facts

Use the converter below for exact lamports ↔ SOL.
Example: 2,500,000,000 lamports = 2.5 SOL.
Example: 75,000,000 lamports = 0.075 SOL (matches revoke mint platform fee in current pricing).

What this means

Quick math: lamports ÷ 1e9 = SOL; SOL × 1e9 = lamports. Base tx fee ≈ 5,000 lamports (0.000005 SOL). SPL token amounts use each mint's decimals — do not divide token raw amounts by 1e9 unless the mint uses 9 decimals. MMAC platform fees (e.g. revoke 0.075 SOL) are quoted in SOL on tool pages but settle on-chain in lamports.

Step-by-step

Use the converter below for exact lamports ↔ SOL.
Example: 2,500,000,000 lamports = 2.5 SOL.
Example: 75,000,000 lamports = 0.075 SOL (matches revoke mint platform fee in current pricing).
In @solana/web3.js use LAMPORTS_PER_SOL instead of hardcoding 1e9.
On Solscan tx pages, cross-check lamport and SOL columns match.
