Solana Fee Calculator“Found no record of a prior credit” / “insufficient funds for fee”
The fee payer has no SOL (or not enough) to pay the network fee.
Attempt to debit an account but found no record of a prior credit
Cause
The first signer pays the fee. If that address has never received SOL, the runtime has no account to debit and reports “no record of a prior credit”. If it holds some SOL but less than the fee, the error is “insufficient funds for fee”.
This happens often with a freshly created wallet that only received tokens: tokens are not SOL, and the fee is always paid in SOL.
Fix
- Send SOL to the fee payer first. The calculator for a reserve shows how much a set of planned transactions costs, split into fees and refundable deposits.
Fee charged? No. The transaction is rejected before execution, so there is no fee to take.
