Fee Burn Mechanism
All XRP fees are permanently destroyed — burned — removing them from circulation and protecting the network from spam.

No Mining Required
XRPL uses a consensus protocol, not Proof of Work mining. This is why fees can stay so low — no miners to pay.

What is the XRP network fee?
The standard XRP network fee is 0.00001 XRP (10 drops), which is less than $0.0001 USD. This fee is burned on every transaction to protect the network from spam.
Why are XRP fees burned instead of paid to validators?
XRP fees are burned — permanently destroyed — so no party profits from fees. This design aligns validators' incentives with network health rather than fee income.
Can XRP fees increase during congestion?
Yes. During high network load (approaching 200 transactions per ledger), the XRPL exponential fee curve activates, raising fees sharply to manage congestion. Fees return to normal once load decreases.
How does XRP fee compare to Ethereum?
XRP fees are approximately $0.0000133 per transaction, while Ethereum fees typically range from $0.50 to $50+. XRP is thousands of times cheaper for simple transfers.
What is the XRP account reserve requirement?
Every XRP wallet requires a minimum balance of 1 XRP to be activated. This base reserve prevents spam account creation and is set by XRPL validator consensus.
