How fast is a SOL payment?

Time between blocks: Under half a second. A block is a batch of payments the network writes down, and your payment needs to be in one before it counts. Here is how that compares with every other network we accept:

Shorter bar = the network confirms payments sooner. Log scale.

Average block times from each network's own documentation, checked 2026-09-28. A payment needs at least one block to confirm.

Mistakes to avoid with SOL

Emptying the wallet completely

Keep a tiny amount of SOL behind for the network fee.

How private is paying with SOL?

Solana is fully public: every payment can be looked up by address. Paying from your own wallet keeps your card and bank out of it. For a private payment, Monero is the option.

Whatever you pay with, the SimVala side stays the same: an account number instead of an email or name, and no ID to buy. For a private payment too, see paying with Monero.
