FeeSettings

[Source]

The FeeSettings entry contains the current base transaction cost and reserve amounts as determined by fee voting. Each ledger version contains at most one FeeSettings entry.

Example FeeSettings JSON

{
   "BaseFee": "000000000000000A",
   "Flags": 0,
   "LedgerEntryType": "FeeSettings",
   "ReferenceFeeUnits": 10,
   "ReserveBase": 20000000,
   "ReserveIncrement": 5000000,
   "index": "4BC50C9B0D8515D3EAAE1E74B29A95804346C491EE1A95BF25E4AAB854A6A651"
}

FeeSettings Fields

In addition to the common fields, the FeeSettings ledger entry has the following fields:

Name JSON Type Internal Type Required? Description
BaseFee String UInt64 Yes The transaction cost of the "reference transaction" in drops of XRP as hexadecimal.
Flags Number UInt32 Yes A bit-map of boolean flags enabled for this object. Currently, the protocol defines no flags for FeeSettings objects. The value is always 0.
LedgerEntryType String UInt16 Yes The value 0x0073, mapped to the string FeeSettings, indicates that this object contains the ledger's fee settings.
ReferenceFeeUnits Number UInt32 Yes The BaseFee translated into "fee units".
ReserveBase Number UInt32 Yes The base reserve for an account in the XRP Ledger, as drops of XRP.
ReserveIncrement Number UInt32 Yes The incremental owner reserve for owning objects, as drops of XRP.

Warning: The JSON format for this ledger entry type is unusual. The BaseFee, ReserveBase, and ReserveIncrement indicate drops of XRP but not in the usual format for specifying XRP.

If the XRPFees amendment is enabled, the FeeSettings object has these fields instead:

Name JSON Type Internal Type Required? Description
BaseFeeDrops String Amount Yes The transaction cost of the "reference transaction" in drops of XRP.
Flags Number UInt32 Yes A bitmap of boolean flags enabled for this object. Currently, the protocol defines no flags for FeeSettings objects. The value is always 0.
LedgerEntryType String UInt16 Yes The value 0x0073, mapped to the string FeeSettings, indicates that this object contains the ledger's fee settings.
ReserveBaseDrops String Amount Yes The base reserve for an account in the XRP Ledger, as drops of XRP.
ReserveIncrementDrops String Amount Yes The incremental owner reserve for owning objects, as drops of XRP.

FeeSettings Flags

There are no flags defined for the FeeSettings entry.

FeeSettings ID Format

The ID of the FeeSettings entry is the hash of the FeeSettings space key (0x0065) only. This means that the ID is always:
