A Major Shift in Xaman’s Monetization Based on Your Feedback

January 29, 2025
At Xaman, our mission has always been to provide the most secure, feature-complete, and user-friendly wallet for the XRP Ledger and Xahau ecosystems. With every update, we aim to push the boundaries of innovation while ensuring long-term sustainability. With Xaman 3.3.1, we’re making one of the most significant changes yet—a complete overhaul of our monetization model based on your feedback.
No more paywalls. No more Google & Apple Pay. Simple, fair, on-ledger fees.
Most transactions remain free
Trading now has a small 0.7% fee
Some transactions cost 0.09 XRP

Why We’re Making This Change

This shift aligns Xaman with the standard used by leading wallets across Ethereum, Solana, and other ecosystems. Instead of an arbitrary threshold, users only pay fees based on actual trading & swapping usage.

This also ensures that Xaman remains independent and sustainable, allowing us to continue improving security, developing new features, and maintaining the best self-custodial experience in the industry.

We appreciate everyone who shared feedback, voiced concerns, and helped us shape this new model.

You Spoke, We Listened—No More Google & Apple Pay, No More Thresholds

When we introduced usage-based monetization, we did so with the intent of ensuring Xaman’s sustainability while keeping the experience free for most users. However, after months of listening to community feedback, it became clear that this model wasn’t what our users wanted.

So, we’re scrapping the old threshold-based model and replacing it with a proven industry-standard approach.

🔹 No more Google & Apple Pay
🔹 No more thresholds
🔹 No more paywalls blocking access to features
🔹 Monetization is now fully on-ledger, paid in XRP

Instead of a usage cap, Xaman will only apply a small service fee on certain transactions and on-chain trading using Xaman’s cutting-edge security.

How the New Monetization Works

Most Transactions Remain Free

The vast majority of user activity will still be completely freejust as it always has been. This includes:

✔️ Sending and receiving XRP
✔️ Sending and receiving tokens
✔️ Canceling offers
✔️ Deleting accounts

Trading Activity Now Has a Small Volume-Based Fee

For trading transactions, we’re introducing a flat 0.7% service fee on volume, applied only when engaging in swaps, AMM liquidity movements, or DEX interactions.

This applies to:

🔹 Token Swaps (swapping one token for another)
🔹 AMM deposits & withdrawals
🔹 Trading on the DEX

For casual users, this change won’t affect you at all—but for those engaging in frequent trading, the fees will now be proportional to usage instead of a flat threshold-based model.

New Small Fees for Certain Transactions

Some transactions will now incur a small fixed fee of 0.09 XRP per transaction, with the exception of Pathfinding Payments which will bear a 0.15XRP fee due to its extreme load on infrastructure.

These include:

🔹 NFT Trading
🔹 AMMCreate & Vote
🔹 Accountset
🔹 Trustset
🔹 Pathfinding

These changes ensure that we can continue providing a smooth experience while preventing infrastructure abuse.
