Understanding Solana Units
What is a Lamport?
A Lamport is the smallest unit of SOL, named after Leslie Lamport, the computer scientist whose research laid the groundwork for blockchain technology. Just as Bitcoin has Satoshis and Ethereum has Wei, Solana uses Lamports for precise calculations.
1 SOL = 1,000,000,000 Lamports (10^9)
Why Use Lamports?
Lamports allow for extremely precise transactions and micro-payments. Since Solana's transaction fees are so low (typically 0.000005 SOL or 5,000 Lamports), using the smallest unit ensures accurate accounting without dealing with many decimal places.
Solana Price Factors
SOL's price is determined by supply and demand on cryptocurrency exchanges. Key factors influencing price include network activity, DeFi total value locked (TVL), ecosystem growth, market sentiment, and broader cryptocurrency market trends. Always use current prices for accurate conversions.
