About Solana

What you are buying

Solana is a high-throughput blockchain built to make transactions fast and cheap enough for everyday use: thousands of transactions per second, confirmations in well under a second, and fees that are typically a fraction of a cent. That combination has made it a home for payments, trading, NFTs, consumer apps, and much of the activity in newer tokens. SOL is the coin that pays for transactions and secures the network through staking.

People buy SOL to hold one of the largest crypto assets, to use applications built on Solana, to pay for transactions on the network, and to stake it and earn network rewards from a wallet they control. Its speed and low fees also make it a common choice for moving stablecoins such as USDC.

Buy Solana from Coin Nerds, or sell it to us, online and across branch counters. Every purchase settles at the live market rate on this page and is delivered to your own Solana wallet within minutes of your payment clearing.

The full Solana guide
Ticker
SOL. One SOL divides into 1,000,000,000 lamports.
Launched
March 2020, created by Anatoly Yakovenko and built by Solana Labs; stewarded today by the Solana Foundation and a large validator community.
Consensus
Proof of stake with proof of history, a cryptographic clock that lets validators order transactions quickly; the network targets sub-second confirmation.
Fees
Transaction fees are typically a fraction of a cent, which is why the network is used for payments and high-volume trading.
Supply
No hard cap; new SOL is issued to stakers on a declining inflation schedule set by the protocol, and part of each fee is burned.
Custody
You hold SOL with a private key. Coin Nerds delivers to the wallet address you provide, so the keys are yours from the first minute.

What is the USD to SOL rate right now?

The figure at the top of this page is the live market rate for USD to SOL, quoted from the same feed the trade widget uses and updating as the market moves. The amount you see when you confirm an order is the amount that lands.

How much SOL do I get for my USD?

The ladder on this page shows what real amounts of USD buy at this second, and the widget takes any amount you type. What you see is what lands in your wallet, with nothing added at the end. The minimum trade is $100 CAD.

How do I pay for Solana in USD?

Coin Nerds supports 100+ payment methods across regions, including SEPA, JazzCash, PayPal, and Cash in Person, and cash across the counter at a branch. Your SOL is delivered to the wallet address you provide within minutes of the payment clearing.

Can I convert SOL back to USD?

Yes. The SOL to USD conversion runs the same way in reverse, at the live market rate, and it has its own page with the current figures.

Is there a limit on how much I can convert?

The minimum trade is $100 CAD. There is no practical ceiling: orders of $50,000 and above go through the OTC desk, where the price is locked once quoted, and the desk is reachable over chat, phone, and email.

Converting USD to SOL with Coin Nerds

To convert USD to Solana, open a Coin Nerds account and verify your identity, which takes the same day. Enter the amount of USD you want to spend, and the widget shows what you pay and what you receive side by side at the live market rate. Confirm, pay with any of 100+ methods including SEPA, JazzCash, PayPal, and Cash in Person, and your SOL is delivered to the wallet address you provide within minutes of the payment clearing. The rate you see when you confirm is the rate you get, and the amount shown is the amount that lands.

Why the USD to SOL rate moves

Solana trades continuously against the dollar and against every other currency, so the USD to SOL figure on this page changes second to second with the market. Coin Nerds quotes from the live market rather than a rate set once a day, which is why the number here moves while you read. The figure you accept in the widget is the figure your order settles at.

Converting USD to SOL in person

The same conversion runs across the counter at a Coin Nerds branch, including Mississauga (Ontario, Canada), Salt Lake City (Utah, United States), Lahore (Pakistan). Bring government-issued ID and the wallet you want the coins delivered to, and a person handles the trade with you at the same live rate. In every other major city, our agents arrange in-person cash trades over chat or by phone, in any amount, at any time.

Large USD to SOL conversions

Orders of $50,000 and above go through the OTC desk, where the price is locked once it is quoted rather than moving while the order fills, and the desk is reachable over chat, phone, and email. Below that, the widget and the app handle any size from the $100 CAD minimum up.
