When I do transfers from a hot wallet to a cold wallet in Solflare, I regularly see both a SOL “Transaction Fee”, which is typically low (in this case 0.000027 SOL), but I also see a larger amount of SOL being extracted in the “Transaction Result” (in this case 0.00203928 SOL). I haven’t worried about it too much since it’s not a lot of money, but it still bothers me a bit. What is going on here? Can someone help me understand?

Here’s the transaction. In this case I was sending $MYRO to cold storage. https://solscan.io/tx/QuBihY9VZwwyb1cgmLiVsyjJLdm31jS6AyevX358sCdgN1dqvxFC2vcrcnJC7Q6HKJpV672DmhaL8iTAwS6RuTj

Thanks!

    It’s like a deposit.

    When you have it in your account it’s being used. If you sell all of that token, the deposit is still there and you have to claim the deposit back by burning the token account.
