Current XRP Transaction Cost

On the XRP Ledger (XRPL), every transaction includes a small XRP cost to protect the network from spam and denial-of-service attacks.

Current XRP Transaction Cost

When the open ledger is busy, the required fee can escalate so higher-fee transactions confirm sooner.

Current XRP Transaction Cost

The current minimum transaction cost for a standard XRP Ledger transaction is typically 0.00001 XRP (10 drops). During higher-than-usual load, the required fee may increase.

To protect the XRP Ledger from spam and denial-of-service attacks, every transaction destroys a small amount of XRP. The transaction cost can increase with network load, making it expensive to overload the network. Each signed transaction specifies the exact amount to destroy in the Fee field.

You can query transaction costs via rippled APIs: server_info (human-oriented) provides validated_ledger.base_fee_xrp and load_factor; server_state (machine-oriented) provides base_fee in drops plus load_factor and load_base to compute effective cost. The fee method can be used to check open ledger cost.

FAQ

Is the Fee field changeable after signing?

No. Like other signed fields, changing Fee invalidates the signature.

Can I overpay fees?

Yes. The ledger destroys exactly what you sign, even if it is higher than the minimum.
