Transaction processing time

Extremely fast, typically 1–2 seconds. Check current statisticsarrow-up-right

Typically low, usually 2–5 seconds due to high throughput and low block times.

Transaction cost

Low-cost transactions. Storagearrow-up-right is billed continuously, e.g. storing 1 GB on ICP costs about $5.3/year even if the smart contract is idle.

Very low (~$0.001–$0.01 per transaction),

High and variable (~$1–$50+ per transaction), depending on network congestion and gas prices.

Stable and zero (gas required for signing transactions is distributed automatically to newly registered addresses)
