Overview

The txpool_status method returns statistics about the current state of the transaction pool. The transaction pool is a queue of pending transactions waiting to be included in the next block by miners.

This method can be useful for monitoring the health of the Polygon network and analysing the behavior of the miners. It can also be used to estimate the time it will take for a transaction to be processed, as well as to determine the gas price necessary to ensure prompt inclusion of a transaction in the next block.
