Over time

Hourly averages this site collects from public nodes while it runs, so the chart grows longer every day.

2,594 dropsFee · average 1,352 drops · low 10 drops · high 5,086 drops
Fee on XRP from 10 Nov, 15:00 to 11 Nov, 15:00 UTC: average 1,352 drops, low 10 drops, high 5,086 drops.

What will it cost?

Estimate a transaction fee from the network's current rates. Real fees depend on your wallet and the exact transaction.

10 drops≈ < $0.011.0e-5 XRP · destroyed, not paid to anyone

A brand-new account also needs a one-time reserve to be activated; it is not a fee.

How it operates

XRP Ledger groups transactions into a sequence of ledger versions. Each validated ledger records a shared, agreed state, including account balances, objects and transaction results.

What a record contains

Core protocol fields describe the contents, ordering and execution of a transaction.

XRP transaction6 fields
  1. TransactionTypeThe kind of transaction, such as Payment or OfferCreate.
  2. AccountThe sending account; it signs the transaction and pays the fee.
  3. SequencePer-account counter that orders transactions and prevents replay.
  4. FeeTransaction cost in drops; it is destroyed, not paid to validators.
  5. LastLedgerSequenceHighest ledger index the transaction may appear in before it expires.
  6. DestinationTagOptional 32-bit number that tells a shared receiving account, such as an exchange, which customer a payment is for.
Confirmation & settlement

A ledger becomes validated when the network reaches consensus; this is different from accumulating proof-of-work confirmations.

Different networks, different rules

Every protocol has its own approach to ordering transactions and defining settlement.

Consensus

Validators or miners determine which data becomes part of the agreed chain or ledger.

A canonical unit containing transactions or the resulting accepted state, depending on protocol.

On XRP Ledger, look forLedger index

On TRON, look forBlock number

On Ethereum, look forBlock number

On Bitcoin, look forBlock height

An identifier derived from transaction data that can be used to find a record.

On XRP Ledger, a hash is64 hexadecimal characters

On TRON, a hash is64 hexadecimal characters

On Ethereum, a hash is0x followed by 64 hexadecimal characters

On Bitcoin, a hash is64 hexadecimal characters (txid)

The public identifier that receives funds or controls an account; its format is specific to each network.

On XRP LedgerClassic addresses generally begin with r

On TRONBase58 addresses generally begin with T

On Ethereum20-byte addresses generally written as 0x…

On BitcoinCommon prefixes: bc1, 1 and 3

The amount charged for processing, computation or block space; calculation differs by protocol.

Amounts are recorded as whole numbers of a base unit; the familiar coin amount is a decimal view of it.

On XRP Ledger1 XRP = 1,000,000 drops

On TRON1 TRX = 1,000,000 SUN

On Ethereum1 ETH = 10⁹ Gwei = 10¹⁸ Wei

How a network keeps a signed transaction from being applied twice or out of order.

On XRP LedgerAccount Sequence (or Ticket)

On TRONReference block + expiration

On EthereumAccount nonce

On BitcoinEach output is spent once

A signed transaction that nodes have received but not yet included in a block or validated ledger.

On XRP Ledger, it waits in theOpen ledger and transaction queue

On TRON, it waits in thePending pool on each node

On Ethereum, it waits in thePublic mempool (txpool)

On Bitcoin, it waits in theMempool

Evidence of inclusion or validation; stronger settlement conditions differ between networks.

The point after which a recorded transaction is treated as permanent; how it is reached, and how long it takes, depends on the protocol.

On XRP Ledger, typically~3–5 s (one validated ledger)

On TRON, typically~1 min (solidified after 19 blocks)

On Ethereum, typically~13 min (two epochs)

On Bitcoin, typically~60 min (6 confirmations, by convention)
