Bitcoin Stamps Economics

Understanding the costs and practical considerations of using Bitcoin Stamps protocols.

Transaction Costs

Bitcoin Stamps store data directly on Bitcoin, which means transaction costs vary based on network conditions.

For Artists

• Small stamps typically cost $3-6 in Bitcoin fees
• Larger stamps can cost $10-20+ depending on data size
• Costs vary with Bitcoin network congestion

Cost Estimation

function estimateStampCost(dataSize: number, feeRate: number): number {
  const overhead = 200; // bytes
  return (dataSize + overhead) * feeRate;
}
