Solana accounts and rental calculation
As a Solana developer, it is understandable how they manage accounts in the network, for efficient and safe code of crucial importance. One aspect of account management, which can be misleading for new developers, is the concept of « accounts » and the relationship to rent.
In this article we will investigate why normal Solana accounts have a size of 0 bytes and how it affects the rental calculations.
Understand accounts
In Solana, each account has a clear identifier (also known as « key »), which serves as the main address for this account. The length of the button of an account is measured in bytes, whereby 32-byte key is the standard minimum size. This means that accounts between 0 and 31 data can have bytes.
Here is an example of what a normal Solana account could look like:
`Sol
Account: 0x00000000000000000000000000000000ABCDEF
As you can see, no data is assigned with this account, and its key length is 32 bytes.
Rental calculation
When calculating the rent in the Solana network, developers must take into account the size of their accounts. The amount of the rent that a user pays depends on the size of the account, on which he transfers medium from or in or in or on. This is usually rejected on SOL (Solana tokens), and users pay the transaction fee based on the account balance.
For example:
- If you send 1 SOL to an account without credit, you would have to rent a maximum of 32 bytes per transmission.
- If your account has a small credit, for example 10 Sol, you may not have to rent at all, as you have enough funds in the account to pay the transaction fee without referring more value.
Normal accounts
Now let’s deal with the question of whether normal accounts have a size of 0 bytes. The answer is yes, that’s right.
In Solana, normal accounts (i.e. those without balance) typically have a key length of 32 bytes or less. This means that these accounts are essentially empty containers so that users can store their data and assets.
Here is an example of what a normal account could look like:
`Sol
Account: 0x00000000000000000000000000000000ABCDEF
Diploma
In summary, Solana accounts have a standard size of 32 bytes or less, and we call this « normal » or « empty » accounts. The amount of the rent paid for these accounts depends on the account balance explained above on the account balance.
By understanding how accounts in the Solana network are managed, developers can write more efficient and safe code that takes into account the nuances of the account and rent calculations.
