# Solana and Other SVM Transfers

## Native currency transfer

On Solana and other SVM chains, each account must hold enough SOL balance for rent. In case the destination account does not exist, the transfer  amount must exceed the rent exemption value. See [here](https://docs.solana.com/developing/programming-model/accounts#rent-exemption) to learn more about rent exemption and [here](/user-guide/manage-transactions/understand-transaction-fees/solana) to learn more about fees on Solana.

Following is an example of the body of a [Create Transaction](/api/openapi/transactions/create_transaction_api_v1_transactions_post) request for a native Solana currency transfer.
The request should be signed, as demonstrated [here](/developers/authentication#request-signing).


```json
{
    "signer_type": "api_signer",
    "type": "solana_transaction",
    "details": {
        "type": "solana_transfer",
        "to": "2d3RofCcy5Jvyi2b6SxtUdd8N7JuRmopXWTUpGGZNSyq",

        },

            "details": {
                "type": "native",
                "chain": "solana_mainnet"
            }
        }
    },
    "note": "Transferring 10 SOL",
    "vault_id": "8988893a-cf29-4a02-acc7-5bb723c74f47"
}
```

## SPL token transfer

In case the destination account does not exist, the transfer will also create it. Therefore, in that case, the source vault will also pay SOL for the rent exemption.

Following is an example of the body of a [Create Transaction](/api/openapi/transactions/create_transaction_api_v1_transactions_post) request for an SPL token transfer.
The request should be signed, as demonstrated [here](/developers/authentication#request-signing).


```json
{
    "signer_type": "api_signer",
    "type": "solana_transaction",
    "details": {
        "type": "solana_transfer",
        "to": "2d3RofCcy5Jvyi2b6SxtUdd8N7JuRmopXWTUpGGZNSyq",
        "value": {
            "type": "value",
            "value": "10000000000"
        },
        "asset_identifier": {
            "type": "solana",
            "details": {
                "type": "spl_token",
                "token": {

                    "base58_repr": "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "note": "Transferring 10000 USDC",
    "vault_id": "8988893a-cf29-4a02-acc7-5bb723c74f47"
