Understanding the #DigiByte Mempool

What is the Mempool?

The mempool (memory pool) is a waiting room for unconfirmed transactions. When you send $DGB, it first enters the mempool before miners include it in a block and add it to the blockchain permanently.

Transaction Priority

Priority is determined by fee rate (satoshis per byte). High priority (100+ sat/byte) gets confirmed fastest, medium (50-100 sat/byte) for normal speed, low priority (<50 sat/byte) takes longer but costs less.

Confirmation Process

DigiByte blocks are mined every ~15 seconds. Once your transaction is included in a block, it receives its first confirmation. Most exchanges consider 6 confirmations (~90 seconds) as final.

💡 Pro Tip: DigiByte processes transactions 40x faster than Bitcoin with much lower fees. An empty mempool means the network is efficiently processing all transactions in real-time!
