A typical payment right now
| Transaction type | Size | Economy | ~30 min | Next block |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taproot (P2TR) | 111 vB | 111 sat | 111 sat | 111 sat |
| Native SegWit (P2WPKH) | 141 vB | 141 sat | 141 sat | 141 sat |
| Nested SegWit (P2SH-P2WPKH) | 166 vB | 166 sat | 166 sat | 166 sat |
| Legacy (P2PKH) | 226 vB | 226 sat | 226 sat | 226 sat |
All priority tiers are the same right now. The mempool is close to empty, so a transaction paying the
1 sat/vB relay minimum is likely to confirm about as fast as one paying more. Paying above this rate buys nothing until
the backlog returns.
