Blockchain//Mempool

- The "waiting room" for unconfirmed transactions — every node maintains its own.

The "waiting room" for unconfirmed transactions — every node maintains its own.

Transactions enter via RPC, then get gossipped to other nodes' mempools.

Validators pull from their own mempool to build blocks.

If the network stalls (no new blocks), transactions sit in mempool indefinitely — accepted but never confirmed.
