Transaction on TON? That’s Only 0.17ct.
Today, I explored the average transaction fees of popular blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TON. While all three are widely used for transactions, each has its unique focus: - Bitcoin has positioned itself as an institutional asset. - Ethereum is highly flexible, hosting an ecosystem of tokens. - TON is known for its mini-apps and microtransactions. This specialization is also reflected in transaction fees. Currently, Bitcoin and Ethereum have fees of around $1.40, while TON transactions cost only $0.17ct. This makes TON a far more useful network for microtransactions and mini-apps. Next to it, TON also supports stablecoin transfers (like Tether), making it an excellent choice for retail use cases such as small payments and remittances.
