Priority Fee API

Helius Priority Fee API estimates Solana priority fees from recent network activity and transaction or account context.

About this tool

The API exposes the getPriorityFeeEstimate JSON-RPC method for estimating the compute-unit price of a Solana transaction. Callers can provide a serialized transaction or account keys and request either a recommended estimate or fee levels derived from recent activity.

It helps wallets, dApps, bots, and transaction senders choose a priority fee instead of relying on a fixed value. The estimates are specific to Solana and can be incorporated into compute-budget instructions before a transaction is signed and sent.
