Sui fees explained

Sui transactions cost a few cents. Here is how gas works, the clever storage rebate, what you pay in, and how to get the SUI you need.

Why Sui fees are low

Sui executes independent transactions in parallel on an efficient Move virtual machine, so it does not get congested the way single-lane chains do. A fee has two parts: a small computation cost and a storage cost for any new on-chain objects. Both are low and predictable.

The storage rebate

Sui charges a storage fee when you create objects and refunds most of it when objects are later deleted — the storage rebate. This keeps long-term costs down and discourages on-chain bloat.

What you pay fees in

All Sui gas is paid in SUI. A small balance covers publishing a token plus many transfers.

How to get SUI

• Buy SUI on a major exchange and withdraw it to your Sui wallet address (it starts with 0x).
• Or receive SUI from someone who already holds it.
• Keep a little extra for gas on top of any service fee.

Fees when creating a token

Publishing a Coin on Sui costs the small network gas plus any service fee — still far cheaper than Ethereum mainnet. Try the Sui token creator or estimate with our cost calculator.
