XRP Transaction Queue

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

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

XRP Transaction Queue

When a transaction meets local load cost but not open ledger cost, rippled estimates whether it is likely to be included later. If so, it places the transaction into the transaction queue and relays it; otherwise it discards it.

rippled uses load-based thresholds. If a transaction’s Fee is below a server’s local load cost, that server ignores the transaction and does not relay it. If the Fee meets local load cost but not the open ledger cost, the transaction may be queued for a later ledger.

Open ledger cost is a second threshold. A transaction can only be included in the current open ledger if it meets the open ledger cost requirement. After a soft limit is reached, the open ledger cost can increase rapidly, and transactions may be queued for later ledgers.

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.
