Transaction Fees

AntPool mined Bitcoin’s second-busiest block on Saturday, fitting 11,255 transactions into block 974,961 while collecting only about $180 in fees. The episode highlights a growing debate over Bitcoin miner revenue as fees remained less than 0.1% of a roughly $237,000 payout.

The XRP Ledger is nearing activation of PermissionDelegationV1_1, an upgrade designed to let accounts delegate limited responsibilities without surrendering full key control. The amendment entered a 14-day countdown after broad validator support and follows a revised implementation that fixes a previously identified fee-related flaw.
