The fee sits on the paper, and we read it with you.

At the window desk in Munbong-dong, a librarian marks one Solana transaction: the signature fee in lamports, any priority fee, and the SOL an account holds so it can keep its data.

Reserve the Tuesday desk

Window desk, 353 Gyeondalsan-ro. Last full sitting starts at 16:45.

Seventy-five minutes with one receipt

The flagship chair is a desk session on SOL and network fees. You bring a printed transaction, or we open drawer A and use a library sample. Hana Seo counts signatures first. The base network fee is 5,000 lamports per signature. One SOL is 1,000,000,000 lamports, so that line is small, and it is still the line people skip.

Anything the sender attached so a leader might include the transaction sooner goes in the middle column. SOL kept so an account stays rent-exempt goes in the third column, under the words held balance. You take the worksheet home. The room keeps no copy.

Three labels, in that order

Column one

Signature

Count the signatures on the transaction. Write 5,000 lamports for each. Two signatures mean 10,000 lamports before any other fee is considered.

Column two

Priority

If the receipt shows a compute-unit price and a limit, the extra fee sits here. Two transfers of the same SOL can differ on this column alone.

Column three

Held balance

A rent-exempt minimum is SOL the account keeps, tied to how much data it stores. It is written apart from the fee that paid for processing.

A Saturday table, and a shorter return

I brought a transfer where the priority fee was larger than the signature line, and I had been telling my brother the whole total was a tax. Hana covered the total with a card until I had written 5,000 lamports for the one signature.
