Throughput vs. mempool snapshots
Public RPC endpoints do not expose a single global mempool count. This page focuses on ~1616 transactions per minute inferred from recent blocks, plus utilization 46.2%. Elevated activity — ~1,616 tx/min. Fees may run above quiet periods.
Inclusion Pressure Index (IPI)
The Inclusion Pressure Index at 46/100 (MEDIUM) summarizes demand using transaction volume (tx/min: 1616), block fullness (46.2%), and fee competition (0.931914 GWEI). A high IPI means you need to pay more to compete for block space.
Block Speed Pressure and Congestion
Block Speed Pressure at 60% shows what fraction of recent blocks were over 90% of the gas limit. Most blocks are near or over 90% capacity — sustained high demand is driving fees up. 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 (1616) is an estimate from recent blocks and is more comparable across providers.
