txpool_status - Manta RPC Method
Inspect pending and queued transaction counts in the Manta Pacific transaction pool. Useful for mempool monitoring, congestion analysis, and node health checks.
Returns transaction pool counters for the connected Manta Pacific endpoint. The result separates transactions that are immediately processable (pending) from those waiting on an earlier nonce or other prerequisite (queued).
Non-standard method.
txpool_statusis a Geth-style mempool inspection method. It is not part of the core Ethereum Execution API method set, and many shared RPC endpoints disable it.
Why Manta? Build on the modular ZK L2 with Celestia DA delivering the lowest fees for 200+ dApps with first L2 on Celestia mainnet, ZK-as-a-Service via Universal Circuits, Polygon CDK integration, and modular OP Stack architecture.
When to Use This Method
txpool_status is valuable for ZK application developers, privacy-focused builders, and teams requiring modular scalability:
- Mempool Monitoring — Watch pending versus queued pressure on a node
- Congestion Signals — Detect bursts of transaction backlog before they show up in block-level metrics
- Node Health Checks — Confirm a node is accepting and classifying new transactions as expected
- Operational Dashboards — Surface lightweight txpool counters without pulling full transaction content
Code Examples
Error Handling
| Error Code | Message | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -32601 | Method not found | The endpoint does not expose txpool methods |
| -32603 | Internal error | The node rejected or failed to process the request |
