FAQ

Why does sending USDC cost about 0.002 SOL?

Because the recipient had no USDC account yet: the transfer creates it and funds its rent-exempt deposit. The network fee itself is a few thousand lamports.

Do I get that deposit back?

No. The new account belongs to the recipient; only they can close it and recover the deposit.

Is the fee paid in USDC?

No. Solana fees and deposits are paid in SOL by the sender, so you need some SOL even to send USDC.
