Hedera

<a href="https://x.com/Hedera" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Hedera</a> recorded its lowest average execution fee of the quarter on October 17, at $0.00065 per transaction. The figure points to continued cost efficiency on the Hedera Hashgraph network, which is aimed at enterprise users.

Data from <a href="https://x.com/chainspect_app" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@chainspect_app</a> indicates that running 100,000 consecutive enterprise-grade transactions on Hedera costs around $65. That works out to roughly $0.00065 per transaction, in line with the quarterly low.
Chainspect's live comparison pages also show Hedera's average fees well below those of other networks. In one comparison, Hedera's average transaction fee was 90.61% lower than Base's , although the figures on these pages update continuously and vary by snapshot.
Average fees can move from day to day, depending on the mix of transactions on the network. A single-day low does not by itself indicate a lasting trend, but it shows how little it costs to use the network at current activity levels.

The cost profile reflects how Hedera sets its pricing. According to Hedera's own website, fees are set in USD starting at $0.0001 and automatically converted to HBAR at the time of each transaction . The design means costs stay predictable regardless of the market price of <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24HBAR&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$HBAR</a>.
Hedera's developer documentation says its current fee model, introduced in HIP-1261, defines all fees in USD as tinycents and converts them to HBAR at the current network exchange rate before they are charged . Each transaction is priced as a base fee plus extras, such as signatures or data size.
This differs from networks where fees are set by auction or by gas prices denominated in the native token. On those chains, a rally in the token price or a surge in demand can push costs up sharply. Hedera's dollar-pegged approach removes the token price from the equation, which is a selling point for businesses that need to budget operating costs in fiat terms.
It also means a rising $HBAR price lowers the token cost of each operation, while the dollar cost stays the same. For enterprise use cases such as tokenization, payments and data logging, predictable pricing can matter as much as the absolute level of fees.
