How Do Transaction Fees Influence Miner Block Selection?

Miners are profit-driven and prioritize transactions that offer higher fees. They typically select the highest-fee transactions from the memory pool (mempool) to include in their block until the block size limit is reached.

This fee-based prioritization mechanism ensures that users willing to pay more for faster confirmation get their transactions processed first.
