Solana

Solana is a blockchain network focused on fast transactions and high throughput. It uses a unique method of ordering transactions to improve its speed. Users can pay their transaction fees and interact with smart contracts with SOL, the network's native cryptocurrency.
For now, Solana is in BETA and there is a rate limitation applied for all projects for Solana to 40 req/s on the platform.
Tatum supports 2 chains:

  • Mainnet BETA - a regular live chain
  • Devnet - a chain used for testing purposes. Coins on the test chain have no value and can be obtained from a faucet, e.g. https://solfaucet.com/

Send SOL from account to account

2 credits per API call.


Send SOL from account to account.

This operation needs the private key of the blockchain address. Every time the funds are transferred, the transaction must be signed with the corresponding private key. No one should ever send it's own private keys to the internet because there is a strong possibility of stealing keys and loss of funds. In this method, it is possible to enter privateKey or signatureId. PrivateKey should be used only for quick development on testnet versions of blockchain when there is no risk of losing funds. In production, Tatum KMS should be used for the highest security standards, and signatureId should be present in the request. Alternatively, using the Tatum client library for supported languages.
