What Is “Transaction Spamming” and How Does It Affect the Mempool and Fees?
Transaction spamming is the act of broadcasting a large volume of low-value or unnecessary transactions to the network. This artificially inflates the size of the mempool, making it appear highly congested.
The goal is often to clog the network, slow down legitimate transactions, and force users to bid higher fees to get included, thus temporarily driving up the fee market and creating a negative user experience.
Glossar
Unnecessary Transactions
Consumption ⎊ Unnecessary transactions are defined as on-chain data submissions that consume valuable, limited block space without contributing commensurate economic utility to the network or the user base.
Base Fee Burning
Mechanism ⎊ Base Fee Burning introduces a deflationary element into the network economics by permanently removing a portion of the transaction fee from circulation, rather than awarding it to validators or miners.
