🚨 Mempool Congestion Alert 🚨
We are seeing sustained high rates of transaction eviction over the past several days.
For more on the impact of transaction eviction, see our Black Thursday post: blog.blocknative.com/blog/mempool-f…

For perspective: Last night we tweeted that one of our large North American nodes had ~160,000 pending transactions in its mempool.
But a default configuration Geth node has 4,096 slots (and shared memory at that).

So… most of the nodes on the network have room for ~2.56% of all pending TX.
In other words, many (most?) of the nodes on the network are wedged. 😲
This is mempool pressure. And the result is decreased predictability in transaction behavior.

We recommend that anyone transacting – shout out to the #yieldfarmers #liquidityminers #degens – monitor every transaction for unexpected behavior (dropped and stuck transactions).
