About XRPL Fees
Ultra-Low Transaction Costs on the XRP Ledger
The XRP Ledger is engineered for speed and cost efficiency. Every transaction requires a minimum fee of 0.00001 XRP (10 drops), which is permanently destroyed — never collected by validators. This anti-spam mechanism keeps the network healthy while remaining negligible for users. A single XRP covers 100,000 transactions.
- Base Fee: 10 drops (0.00001 XRP)
- Fees are burned, not paid to validators
- Scales with network load automatically
- 1M transactions costs only $15.20

XRPL transaction fees are almost zero. Sending 1 million payments costs just over $15 — no other blockchain comes close for high-volume use cases.
The fee burn model is brilliant. Every transaction permanently removes XRP from circulation, making the token slightly more scarce over time.
