Solana Rental Fees

Definition

Solana rental fees are a mechanism on the Solana blockchain where users pay a small amount of SOL tokens to maintain ownership of data accounts that are not actively being used. These fees are a form of rent designed to incentivize users to reclaim storage space by closing inactive accounts, thus preventing the chain from growing indefinitely with dormant data. The fees are periodically deducted from the account balance. This system helps manage state bloat.
