Wallet FAQs

Do I need SOL in my wallet? 
Yes, all interactions with the platform will require a small amount of SOL for the gas fees on the blockchain. 
Does it cost money to create an account? 
Yes. The Solana blockchain requires a small amount of SOL to store the state of your positions on Drift. This costs 0.035 SOL. This is called Rent. This fee is only paid on the creation of a new account and each subaccount. 
Note: To trade on Drift, you'll eventually need more than 0.035 SOL to facilitate and approve transactions.
Will I get my rent back? 
Yes. If at any time you decide to close your account you will get the rent back for that associated account.
