Stellar transaction fee

As of November 4, 2026, Stellar native transfer fee USD is $0.0000016 at the median (p50, 24h window), with $0.0000016 at p90 and $0.0000017 at p99. Stellar ranks #1 of 28 chains measured on this benchmark.

Stellar native transfer fee is $0.0000016 (p50, 24h). The Stellar base fee is 100 stroops (0.00001 XLM) per operation network-wide, surging only when the ledger fills above its capacity threshold; a native XLM payment is one operation, so the fee sits at a fraction of a cent except during surge windows. Computed from `horizon fee_stats.last_ledger_base_fee` times one operation times live XLM price.
