{% hint style="warning" %}
**You need to pay Solana Network fees to deploy and a Rent fee to Solana.**\
\
**Solana Network Fees**

* Every time you do something on the Solana blockchain (like deploy a contract, create an NFT, or send a transaction), you pay a **network fee** (sometimes called a “transaction fee”).
* This fee is very small (usually less than $0.01 per transaction) and goes to the validators who run the network.

#### **Rent Fee**

* On Solana, certain actions, storing NFT data require you to pay a **“rent fee.”**
* This is a one-time payment to store your data/account on the blockchain **forever.**
* For NFTs, this usually means every token and its metadata needs rent to be “rent-exempt”so it won’t get deleted.
* Rent keeps Solana’s network efficient: it discourages spamming the blockchain with too much unused data.
