Mempool

Transactions that have been broadcast and are not in a block yet. How mempool.space packs those into the next templates is on next blocks. The fee you would pay is on Bitcoin. The subsidy schedule is on halving.

About this desk

What you use it for
Open this to see how many Bitcoin transactions are waiting and which fee band the bytes sit in.
What the numbers are
Count, virtual size, and total fees are the mempool mempool.space sees. Each band is virtual bytes whose fee rate falls in that range.
What it leaves out
Fees attached are the sum already on waiting transactions, not the fee for a new one. How those bytes pack into the next templates is on next blocks.

Every desk is introduced the same way on the desk list.

How to read this

Waiting
67,562 transactions are in the mempool mempool.space sees. 41.1 MB is their virtual size. A block is about 1 MB of weight, so this queue is many blocks deep if nothing new arrives and nothing is dropped.
The bands
Each band is virtual bytes whose fee rate falls in that range. Bytes at 5 sat/vB and up are the ones most likely to clear first. Bytes under 1 sat/vB are at the back.
Fees attached
0.06157171 BTC is the sum of fees on the waiting transactions, not the fee you would pay for a new one.
