Topic: Cryptocurrencies with the cheapest fees in the world? (Read 465 times)

So true. I've been using NEM for a long time, and I'd have to say that it's one of the cheapest cryptocurrencies out there for micropayments. On top of that, transactions settle almost instantly on the Blockchain. Yet, NEM is undervalued sitting below the $1 range as other cryptocurrencies gain traction. The NEM blockchain can also be used for smart contracts via the use of an API. Unlike Ethereum and other leading smart contract platforms, smart contract operations are performed completely off the NEM blockchain. This reduces the burden on the network, providing low fees and fast transaction speeds for everyone. While it's still under the radar of most investors and traders in the crypto market, I believe that the time for NEM will come as fees rise within popular blockchain networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Nonetheless, I'm surprised to see many coins out there with ridiculously low fees. This makes crypto extremely practical for micropayments and cross-border transfers. It's even better than traditional credit/debit cards, as well as, money orders. The world is yet to adopt crypto/Blockchain tech to a full extent, in order to rival traditional payment processors powered by Fiat. As long as we have cryptocurrencies with blazing-fast transaction speeds and low fees, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts

but when viewed from the cheap altcoins, most of these altcoins have very little potential as well, only altcoins that are several years old can still be trusted to be used as long-term or short-term investments. From that statement I think it is better to hold on to altcoins which, although somewhat expensive, have more potential.

It is true that Bitcoin ever rising fee is not friendly at all but even at that, many investors don't seems to care hence the current value today, in the same way, Ethereum rising fee is also not friendly but yet many people don't seems to care and hence kept using it and all that is associated with it. Also, I agree that cheaper fee is important but however, value and potential is more important and that is the reason why Bitcoin and Ethereum has maintained a very good growth till date.
On the other hand, talking about cryptocurrencies with cheaper or cheapest fees, I think Tron comes first in that aspect, sending TRX or any coin/tokens leveraging its blockchain like USDT from a personal wallet comes with a very little fee in TRX, while on exchanges it varies, some are free, some are not but very little fee also. Another is BSC tokens (Binance Smart Chain), the fee is also cheaper and lastly XLM. XRP is another but since they are facing an issue, I tend to overlook it.

I use the Tron network, TRC 20, there are very low commissions, especially cheaply, you can transfer USDT in this network with minimal commissions

Bitcoin maybe? they have you called lighting network it's more suitable for micro transactions to avoid huge fee also for what i've know there were some other cryptocurrency that has lower fee and fast transaction but most of them are less valuable than top cryptocurrencies.

TRON is good but we are talking about the cheapest tx fees that can be charged by crypto and the answer will always be the coins that used DAG system.
it says that this system doesn't require the miners but the only disadvantage from this mechanism if the transaction will be validated by the server. It says that this will be fully controlled by the human and it's not decentralized like blockchain system.

I mainly use tron (trx) when i move small amounts of crypto because of the low fees of the trx network and the big daily volume and the many peers offered you can exchange your tron to usdt (trx) and then purchase any erc20 token.

As I know, there aren't any stable coin projects running on NEM blockchain yet.

how much does ripple's cost for it's transaction fee? because what I know about ripple it's not the cheapest coin. there are so many other coins much more cheaper then ripple.

well said. I didn't used Iota. but I am totally agree about Nano. it's far more cheaper then ripple.

Dash average transaction fees : $0.003

Dash transactions settle on the Dash blockchain in seconds, fully protected against double spending and fully spendable by the receiver.
Send - Receive - Spend : 3-5 seconds

How does Dash achieve this : https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/introduction/features.html#instantsend

Dash transactions show as completed in the Dash Core wallet after just one miner confirmation, and spendable even before that one miner confirmation.
That brings Dash transaction settlement on its network on the same level as creditcard networks, while being decentralized and with far less transaction fees.
There are no additional fees for this instant transactions settlement feature, which is active across the Dash network.

Are you tired of high transaction fees ? Are you tired of having to look-up transaction fees manually, before making transactions ? Are you tired of having to re-do transactions
because of too low fees ? Are you tired of not being sure if your transaction even makes it to the blockchain? Switch to Dash.

What is Dash?

The Dash blockchain username / Dash identity will be interchangeable across different platforms : Mobile Phones (iOS & Android) / Windows Desktop / Mac Desktop / Linux Desktop / Browsers / Internet

Does it have stablecoins like USDT or DAI?

One of the blockchanis which cheapest fees is NEM.
A simple transfer transaction up to 10000 XEM costs only 0.05 xem
which at current prices would be about 0,01 USD.

The transaction costs increases as the amount of transferred XEM is bigger
but is capped at max 1.25 XEM per transaction.

The fee can vary depending of the type of the transaction
like if a simple or encrypted  message is sent within transaction
or an importance transfer transaction is sent or if a multisignature  tranasaction is sent.

For the full overview of transaction types and transaction fees
you can check here the NEM documentation: https://nemproject.github.io/#transaction-fees

TRON has lower fees. It has no fees for TRX transactions in most cases and about 1 TRX for token transfers ($ 0.03) and about 1-2 TRX for swaps.

yeah that was true that there are more cheaper alternatives to ripple and we dont know most of them but we that already use ripple i think its not necesarily to move from those coins because by using ripple the fees are already cheap .

afaik in my long years of using ripple for transactions , it dont force me to pay over a dollar or two  and most importantly is that ripple is accepted or available anywhere else  .

Yes, nano needs almost zero fees to did a transaction and DAG is not the same like blockchain which needs nodes to validate the transaction. We have so many explanations from the various articles that why DAG is better than ripple. Ripple is not the cheapest coin to did a transaction. You should take a look at nano and IOTA.

USDT
Do you know that the USDT token in tron blockchain is 100% free in most of the exchanges? if you Widhraw USDT using TRC20 Protocol from Binance, Hotbit and (there are many websites) you'll be charged nothing. it is 100% zero transaction fee.
if you have 100 USDT in your exhange account. you'll receive same 100 USDT wherever you withdraw them.
So USDT TRC20 is winner for me.

Note: Sending USDT through Tronlink require 1 TRX fee which is just $0.03 now so USDT is the winner.

infact all tokens in Tron blockchain including TRX itself has very low fee.

There are many cryptocurrencies out there on the market with dirt cheap fees. Basically any altcoin is cheaper than Bitcoin for daily payments. Some are free, while others charge a ridiculously low fee per transaction. To my surprise, old coins like Litecoin and Dogecoin are highly inexpensive to use for micropayments. Their blockchain networks are fast too, making them great alternatives to traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The real issue is not the fee per transaction, but rather the level of adoption of an specific cryptocurrency. If a coin is dirt cheap to use for daily payments, but lacks adoption/use cases, then it'll be worthless. That's why it's important to choose a cryptocurrency with low fees that's well-adopted in the mainstream world. Dogecoin is a good low-fee coin, but it's not as heavily adopted as Litecoin is. At least, both blockchain networks (LTC and DOGE) are constantly maintained by their communities. This will keep them alive for a very long time.

Nonetheless, it seems to me that the cheapest coins in the world (besides fee-less coins like EOS and Nano) are those which make use of the DPoS consensus algorithm. BitShares and ARK are one of the fastest and cheapest cryptocurrencies in the world right now. They never hit a ceiling when it comes to processing thousands of transactions per second (TPS). Of course, they're less decentralized than Bitcoin or Ethereum. But they're certainly a better option than heavily-centralized coins like XRP or EOS. As mainstream adoption for crypto grows, coins that were once cheap, will turn out to become expensive in the long run. It's all a matter of scaling the Blockchain network at a constant rate in order to maintain fees as low as possible. Just my opinion

In what case should an investor need transfer, a day trader aren't consistent in transferring coin nor a long term investor.
Transfer had only been needed when withdrawing to fiat/local currency, and as such there are some specific coins used for that, btc, eth, xrp, ltc, bch. Any out of these can only be needed maybe when a trader need to perform arbitrage trading meanwhile this isn't working in the industry any longer. Also transfer is needed for bounty hunters and airdrop participants which sometimes often require gas fee to claim their token.
However, coins with low transfer fees are XRP, Atom, and sometimes LTC which are often faster.

Look at ALIAS (prev. XSPEC) | Anonymous | PoSv3 & PoAS | Tor | Ring Signatures.

This is an anonymous cryptocurrency for POS mining, the speed is high, and the commission is minimal!

You can buy ALIAS and send it anonymously at high speed with a minimum commission.

The last quarter of 2020 was great for cryptocurrencies. People invested in cryptocurrencies and did some research.
Here, the cheapest fees attract people's attention. If I have to give a suggestion, I think the most suitable coin in this regard is Litecoin.
