The fee difference between XRPL and Ethereum is measured in orders of magnitude. A standard XRPL transaction costs approximately $0.0000152. A comparable Ethereum transaction routinely costs $0.50 to $5.00 or more depending on network congestion and gas prices.
That means XRPL transactions can be 30,000 to 300,000 times cheaper than Ethereum transactions under typical conditions.
Ethereum uses a gas system where users bid for block space. Complex smart contract interactions consume more gas than simple ETH transfers. Gas prices fluctuate based on demand. During peak periods like NFT mints or token launches, users have paid hundreds of dollars for a single transaction.
XRPL uses a flat-fee model measured in drops. There is no gas bidding war. The fee is predictable, tiny, and burned — not paid to validators.
XRPL handles approximately 1,500 transactions per second with 3-5 second settlement finality. Ethereum processes roughly 15-30 TPS on its base layer. XRPL higher throughput at lower cost makes it structurally better suited for payment rails, stablecoin settlement, and tokenized asset transfers.
