●Distributed ledger with lists of records (blocks) linked together.
●Operates on a peer-to-peer network.
●Every node (participant) has a copy of entire ledger.
●Once a transaction is recorded, it cannot be altered.

Mempool - Bitcoin Explorer
●short for "memory pool"
●Enables to view real-time and historical information about a
node's mempool
●Visualize its transactions
●search and view those transactions
●Free and Open Source Software
●Self hosted - No trusted third party
●Forecasted or Projected Blocks - blocks in process of being mined
●Confirmed Blocks - mined blocks (Transaction successfully added to
blockchain)
Block height : position of a block within the chronological
sequence of blocks in blockchain
Average Fee rate paid per block
Range of fee paid by users
Total amount of Bitcoin in transaction
Total number of transaction
Time when transaction confirmed
Group of miners mined the block
Block
Expected and Actual Block
●Mempool monitors mempool view, running Bitcoin Core's
algorithm every 2 seconds.
●Snapshot of expected block saved at new block mining,
serving as next block's template.
●Highlighted transactions convey various heuristics:
○Added: Blue for transactions prioritized by the miner or
accepted out-of-band.
○Recently Broadcasted: Dark pink for transactions first
seen within 3 minutes of block mining.
○Marginal Fee: Darkened for low-end feerate transactions
displaced from blocks.
○Removed: Bright pink for transactions intentionally
excluded from blocks.
