What is the mempool?
The mempool is a group or list of transactions which nodes validate (the nodes show that these transactions are correct), but which have not yet been confirmed and added to the blockchain by miners.
What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
When miners cannot keep up with transactions, the size of mempools increases. A transaction can be prioritized, in relation to other simultaneous transactions, by increasing the fee, which allows miners to take more BTC for a transaction.
How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
The free market of the network changes in relation to increased demand. A growing mempool puts pressure to pay more, the free market of the network changes in relation to the increased demand on people making transactions and wanting their transactions to be confirmed faster, or faster. If they want a fast / faster transaction, they might need to offer a higher transaction fee.

- A mempool is a collection of all confirmed transactions that have yet to be mined into a block.
- The mempool will increase in size if miners can’t keep up with the rate of transactions.
- A growing mempool will typically increase transactions fees because users will have to compete with one another to have their transactions included in the next block.

- A membool is a per node cache of validated unprocessed transactions.
- I would imagine their hash rate slows and lower fee transactions keep getting pushed down the cache as higher rate fee transactions are added to the mempool. This part of that question is really confusing “can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?” - you mean frequency transactions are being added to the mempool or rate as in transaction fee?"
- It would slow the processing of lower fee transactions as they would keep getting pushed down in the queue as higher fee transactions are added.

Is a list of unconfirmed transactions waiting to be confirmed by a miner, each node has a mempool. -
What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
There will be more pending/unconfirmed transactions because there are more tx than the miners confirming them. -
How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
It will raise the overall transaction fee, because it means more transactions are competing with one another to get validated and appended into the blockchain.

The mempool is basically a space where all unconfirmed transactions go before being picked up by the miners to be included in a block.
-
Each block has a limited size, and is produced roughly every 10 minutes. If there are too many transactions, we need to remember that miners are financially incentivized so they will try to construct blocks putting the transactions that pay higher fees (satoshi per byte) first and leave the rest on the mempool which can be picked later when there is less demand.
-
Growing mempool would increase transaction fees because people will be willing to pay more in order to be included in the next block, otherwise their transaction might get stuck in the mempool until it decreases and the transaction is attractive enough feewise to the miners to include in a block.

- A pool of validated but unconfirmed transactions that have yet to be added to a block.
- Most transactions will take longer and the size of the mempool increases, as miners will prioritize transactions that earn them higher fees per block.
- It will cost more to complete the transaction in the same amount of time.

The mempool includes all unconfirmed transactions that the miners will choose from to include in the next block. The transactions that get put into the next block are determined by the fee that they pay/size of the transaction.
If the miners can’t keep up then the size of the mempool increases and there are more transactions that they choose from to put into the next block. That increases the transaction confirmation time
With more transactions in the mempool, the suggested fee for the new transactions to be included in the next block increases.

- mempool is al list with unconfirmed transaction in the blockchain.
- The transaction with the highest fees will be picked first as they are incentivized to earn money. In the mean time the number of unconfirmed transaction in the mempool will grow.
- As explained in question 2. the highest fee transactions will be picked, so the fees increase. If your fee is lower then the miners accept your transaction will not be put in a block.

Mempool refers to the storage space for all the unconfirmed transactions.
If the mempool grows then the transaction fees will be higher because miners prioritise transactions with a higher fee

1.What is the mempool?
Mempool is the area where the transactions resides before they are added on the blockchain in a block. We can say that it is a waiting area for transaction. Every miner node has its own mempool area and they are all connected to their peer or other miner nodes which have their own mempool. Mempools can have their own criteria for adding transaction based on transaction fees and memory space taken by transaction.

What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
If the miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transaction the the transaction in mempools keep on increasing and ultimately the network will get congested. Transaction will take long time to be added on blockchain. -
How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
If mempool keeps on growing then miners will pick the transaction which have high transaction fees so they can earn more money. This will lead to high gas price and user will need to pay high transaction fees for executing his transaction.
