 === Transaction Pools

-. ((("bitcoin network", "transaction pools")))((("transaction pools")))Almost every node on the bitcoin network maintains a temporary list of unconfirmed transactions called the _memory pool_, _mempool_, or _transaction pool_.

Nodes use this pool to keep track of transactions that are known to the network but are not yet included in the blockchain. For example, a wallet node will use the transaction pool to track incoming payments to the user's wallet that have been received on the network but are not yet confirmed.

 As transactions are received and verified, they are added to the transaction pool and relayed to the neighboring nodes to propagate on the network.
