Throughput vs. mempool snapshots
Public RPC endpoints do not expose a single global mempool count. This page focuses on ~1362 transactions per minute inferred from recent blocks, plus utilization 44.9%. Typical load — ~1,362 tx/min (estimated from recent blocks).
Inclusion Pressure Index (IPI)
The Inclusion Pressure Index at 46/100 (MEDIUM) summarizes demand using transaction volume (tx/min: 1362), block fullness (44.9%), and fee competition (0.98911 GWEI). A high IPI means you need to pay more to compete for block space.
Block Speed Pressure and Congestion
Block Speed Pressure at 45% shows what fraction of recent blocks were over 90% of the gas limit. Some blocks are near-full, indicating moderate demand. When blocks consistently run near-full, the EIP-1559 base fee automatically increases each block, creating a compounding effect on fees.
About queued transactions
Queued transactions (0) depend on node-local views. The tx/min figure (1362) is an estimate from recent blocks and is more comparable across providers.
FAQ
How many transactions per minute right now?
About 1362 tx/min (estimate from recent blocks). Typical load — ~1,362 tx/min (estimated from recent blocks).
