XRP Ledger Reduces Account Fees Amid Price Surge
According to CoinDesk, a recent governance vote has significantly reduced the minimum fees required to open an account on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), the network utilizing XRP, by 90%. This decision comes during a period of substantial price increases for the major cryptocurrency token.
Network validator @aesthetes_art confirmed the change in a social media post, stating, "Together with other UNL Validators, we’ve voted to reduce the #XRPL Reserves." As a result, it is now ten times cheaper to begin operations on the XRPL. The account reserve requirement has been lowered from 10 XRP to 1 XRP, while the fees for creating trust lines or objects have decreased from 2 XRP to 0.2 XRP.
Account activation on the XRP Ledger involves making an account operational on the network. A reserve is the minimum amount that must be held in any XRP address to enable fund transfers. Initially, every XRP address is non-activated, meaning it cannot send or receive funds until it is activated. This mechanism is designed to prevent spam accounts by imposing a cost on creating multiple accounts.
Additionally, the base reserve requirement pertains to the fee associated with owning an object on the ledger. An object can be any data element stored by the ledger, such as payment channels, escrows, offers, or transactional information.
The reduction in fees coincides with a surge in account creation activity on the XRPL in recent days. Network data indicates that over 30,000 accounts were created earlier this week, a significant increase from the usual figure of under 2,000 in previous weeks.
Several fundamental and regulatory developments have contributed to a more than 400% increase in XRP prices over the past 30 days. This surge has propelled XRP to become the third-largest token by market capitalization, reaching price levels not seen since early 2018.
