RAM is the resource that we use to store data on the EOS blockchain and we use EOS tokens to purchase it. Just like the EOS token, its price can fluctuate based on supply & demand. If the demand is high, RAM prices will increase and if the demand is low, prices for RAM would lower, this is governed by the algorithm known as the Bancor Relay.
Currently a minimum of 4000 bytes of RAM is required to create a new account, although we suggest 8192 bytes incase you need to perform functions that require RAM so your account has flexibility.
