A mempool, or memory pool, is a collection of unconfirmed cryptocurrency transactions waiting to be added to a blockchain. When a user broadcasts a transaction, it first enters the mempool on network nodes until miners include it in a block. Transactions in the mempool are typically prioritized based on fees, with higher-fee transactions being processed faster. The mempool helps manage network congestion and ensures orderly processing of transactions.
