Statistics for mempool transactions

Schema

OPTIONAL

tx_type_counts

object

Number of tranasction in the mempool, broken down by transaction type.

token_transfer

number

smart_contract

number

contract_call

number

poison_microblock

number

tx_simple_fee_averages

object

The simple mean (average) transaction fee, broken down by transaction type. Note that this does not factor in actual execution costs. The average fee is not a reliable metric for calculating a fee for a new transaction.

tx_ages

object

The average time (in blocks) that transactions have lived in the mempool. The start block height is simply the current chain-tip of when the attached Stacks node receives the transaction. This timing can be different across Stacks nodes / API instances due to propagation timing differences in the p2p network.
