Dogecoin’s Low Fees Shine in Blockchain Transaction Cost Comparison

Dogecoin's transaction fees currently average $0.029, placing it among the more cost-efficient blockchain networks.

According to recent data, transaction fees—the small amount paid to blockchain validators—vary significantly across leading networks. These fees fluctuate based on network activity, with higher traffic often driving up costs as validators prioritize transactions offering the highest fees. During quieter periods, fees naturally decline due to reduced competition.

The infographic analyzed the average transaction fees of eight networks: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Tron (TRX), Toncoin (TON), Litecoin (LTC), Avalanche (AVAX), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Ethereum tops the chart with an average fee of $4.84, making it the priciest network. Bitcoin follows with an average fee of $1.50, significantly lower than Ethereum but still higher than its peers.

In contrast, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, and Toncoin maintain fees between $0.024 and $0.032, offering low-cost alternatives despite handling significant transaction volumes. Tron, while more expensive than these networks, averages $0.24 per transaction—still far below Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Among these, Litecoin stands out for its exceptional affordability. Users on its network pay an average fee of just $0.0051, highlighting its efficiency. Dogecoin, with its substantial market cap and high transaction volume, offers an attractive balance of affordability and network utility, further solidifying its appeal among blockchain networks.
