Special XRP Transaction Fees

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

Special XRP Transaction Fees

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

Special XRP Transaction Fees

Some transactions have special costs before load scaling: most reference transactions cost 10 drops; multi-signed transactions cost 10 drops × (1 + number of signatures); EscrowFinish with fulfillment costs 10 drops × (33 + (fulfillment bytes ÷ 16)); AccountDelete and AMMCreate cost 2,000,000 drops; a key reset SetRegularKey can be 0 under specific conditions.

XRP transaction costs are not paid to any party. The XRP specified as the Fee is irrevocably destroyed (burned).

Every signed transaction must include a Fee value. The ledger executes transactions exactly as signed, so the exact Fee specified is destroyed even if it is higher than the current minimum. It is recommended to look up current load-based costs before signing and to set LastLedgerSequence so a transaction can expire if needed.

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.
