- XMR/USD stays within the recent range above $107.00.
- Monero transaction costs reduced significantly after the hard work.
Monero (XMR) is changing hands at $107.18, off Sunday's high at $108.85. The coin is mostly unchanged both on a day-on-day basis and since the beginning of Munday amid low trading volumes and non-existant volatility, typical to all major cryptocurrency assets. Monero sits at the 10th place among global digital assets with the market value of $1.7B and average daily trading volume at $13M.
Transactions became smaller and cheaper
Bulletproofs protocol implemented during the recent Monero network hard fork slashed transaction fees by more than 90%, from $0.60 до $0.02. While an average transaction size dropped over 80% from 18.5 K to 3 K.
"Bulletproofs update: Monero average transaction is now 3kb versus a pre-fork average of 18.5kb," their tweet says.
Earlier we reported that Monero dev team had performed a hard fork at block No. 1685555, replacing the ring confidential transactions (RingCT) technology with the new Bulletproofs protocol.
