  2. The mempool gets bigger and it prioritises transactions with higher fees

  3. A growing mempool would probably push transaction fees higher.

  1. The mempool is where transactions are stored within each node until it has received enough confirmations to validate it onto the blockchain.

  2. The number of unconfirmed transactions will increase in the mempool.

  3. A growing mempool increases transaction fees because miners are incentived to choose transactions that offer them the highest fee in return for appending the transaction onto the blockchain. Miners can neglect lower fees until they have mined through the higher bids.

It’s the temporary storage of a transaction before it gets chosen by a miner to include into a block to be mined.

  1. A mempool is a data structure all nodes have that show the count of unconfirmed transactions.

  3. The transaction fees will probably increase. People are willing to pay higher fees, so that their transaction will go into the next block.

1)Mempool is a list of all the unconfirmed transactions and the fees that go with it.

2)If miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transaction, the pool will grow larger in size.

3)Growing mempool can cause confirmed transaction times to be slower and fees will increase.
