Web3 is taking root — transitioning from proof-of-concepts to enterprise-grade solutions. As specialists in the global mempool, gas pricing, and the associated value in motion, the team at Blocknative looked back at 2019 and wondered, "How many public blockchain transactions have ever happened?" This quickly lead to "How many new public blockchain transactions can we reasonably expect in the coming years?" We were surprised that, as far as we could tell, no one had previously published answer...

Blockchains are transaction engines, enabling the exchange of value in ways that have not been possible before. The potential is exciting. But the complexity of smart contract-based transactions can make it difficult for even the most experienced Ethereum developers to understand what is actually going on with a transaction. Today, we are excited to announce that our Mempool API now makes it easier to understand value transfer with support for internal transactions.What Are Internal Transacti...

Nodes act as a gateway to the Ethereum network. Before a miner can include your transaction in a block, a node must first accept it. And understanding how nodes accept transactions can unlock insights into how Ethereum works. Our goal with this Mastering the Mempool series is to help you understand this crucial — but often under-explored — element of Web3. We suggest starting with our first post in the series, where we cover many of the core concepts of the mempool. In this post, we explore h...

Recently, we published a post covering Canceled Transactions and How They Break Dapp UX. Based on the positive feedback we received from the community, we are excited to dive into the world of Ethereum Speed Up Transactions — what they are, how they are different than Cancels, and the implications for your Dapp. [We recommend first reviewing our Cancel Post.] What are Speed Up Transactions? Speed Up transactions are virtually identical to Cancel transactions – with one critical difference. Sp...

The mempool is the gateway to the blockchain. Before anything can be written on a block, it must first move through the mempool. And this important piece of Web3 is often overlooked. Since the mempool dictates how every transaction gets written to and confirmed on-chain, understanding the mempool can help you understand what is happening with your in-flight transactions and unlock deep insights into how blockchains work. In the course of building infrastructure to monitor the mempool, we&apos...

Is your Dapp displaying incorrect information to users? It probably is — through no fault of your own. Since the start of the year, we have conducted more than 30 Dapp Transaction Usability Audits. Every Audit involves 50+ unique quantitative metrics and qualitative evaluations. One surprising finding: we have yet to audit a Dapp that cleanly handles either Canceled or Sped Up transactions. Why? Before we dive into the problems Canceled transactions cause and why most Dapps don't address...
