Mempool News

Transaction fees have dropped this year, after a spike earlier this summer.

Pending Liquid transactions had been queued in the mempool for roughly 22 hours after the network reported an issue which caused "block signer nodes failing to validate certain parameters against each other."

Three and a half years after the activation of SegWit, adoption of the space-saving transaction format is still far from ideal.

With the daily trading volume of Bitcoin at an all-time high, the mempool of the Bitcoin Blockchain has started to expand again.

A drop in Bitcoin’s mempool size is welcome news for anyone using the network regularly, a sign that processing speeds are improving.

Bitcoin’s unprocessed transaction pool size spiked again last week, prompting fears the network is nearing operational capacity.
