1. What Is a Mempool
The mempool is the pool of pending, unconfirmed transactions that nodes hold before they are included in a block. It is the waiting room of a blockchain.
2. How It Works
When a user broadcasts a transaction, nodes validate it and add it to their local mempool. Miners/validators select transactions from the mempool (typically prioritizing higher fees) to include in the next block. Mempools vary by node — transactions visible there are not yet final. Public mempools enable MEV extraction, sandwich attacks, and front-running.
3. Why It Matters
The mempool is where transaction inclusion is decided — fee competition happens there, and it is the front line of MEV. Understanding mempool dynamics (fee market, ordering) matters for users wanting timely inclusion and for protocols exposed to front-running. Private mempools and order-flow auctions aim to protect users.
4. Key Facts
- Mempool size spikes during congestion
- Priority fees (EIP-1559 tips) influence selection
- MEV bots monitor mempools for profitable opportunities
- Private/encrypted mempools (e.g., Flashbots, Shutter) mitigate MEV
