| Transaction type | Size | Economy | ~30 min | Next block |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taproot (P2TR) | 111 vB | 222 sat $0.18 | 222 sat $0.18 | 222 sat $0.18 |
| Native SegWit (P2WPKH) | 141 vB | 282 sat $0.22 | 282 sat $0.22 | 282 sat $0.22 |
| Nested SegWit (P2SH-P2WPKH) | 166 vB | 332 sat $0.26 | 332 sat $0.26 | 332 sat $0.26 |
| Legacy (P2PKH) | 226 vB | 452 sat $0.36 | 452 sat $0.36 | 452 sat $0.36 |
All priority tiers are the same right now. The mempool is close to empty, so a transaction paying the
2 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.
