In this episode, we are joined by Tomasz Drwięga), a Core Developer at Parity Technologies, to discuss the lifecycle of a transaction on the Ethereum network and how the mempool works.
We will be covering the following topics:
What a mempool/transaction queue/transaction pool is.
How a transaction reaches a mempool and what the mempool does with it.
Looking at what causes the CPU increase and delays in the network.
What happens when a transaction gets stuck.
Gossip.
The security properties of the mempool.
What a network attack could look like.
Here are some additional links and ressources if you want to dig deeper.
