# Gas Settings

This menu allows you to change the default Gas and Mev Tip settings for buying and selling.

<details>

<summary>What is Gas?</summary>

Gas is the fee for processing Solana transactions, with base gas being the minimum required. Adding "Buy Gas" or "Sell Gas" increases your fee, prioritizing your transaction for faster processing.

<details>

<summary>What is Mev Tip?</summary>

When the Solana network is busy, a Mev Tip lets you pay extra to speed up your transaction. Validators prioritize transactions with higher tips.&#x20;
