## When speed is the point

A campaign is ready, the balance is short, and the window opens in ten minutes. Solana is the coin for that moment: the deposit is final in seconds and the fee is negligible at any amount. Because SOL itself is volatile, the amount you send is converted at the rate displayed when the deposit is credited; if you want the dollar value fixed before you send, use a stablecoin.

Whatever the coin, the mechanics are the same: the deposit shows as pending when the network sees it, is credited after confirmation, is converted once to US dollars at the market rate displayed at that moment, and then buys messages at the published rate card. The balance never expires and unused balance is refundable in the coin it came from under the [refund policy](https://smsmeteor.com/legal/refunds).

## Before you send

Send native SOL on Solana mainnet to the address shown on the deposit screen. Exchanges sometimes pause Solana withdrawals during network congestion; if a withdrawal is delayed on the exchange side, the deposit will be credited as soon as it reaches the chain.
