Arc API method that returns a human-readable summary of the transactions waiting in the node’s pool. It reports the same set as txpool_content, but each transaction is collapsed to a single string instead of a full object, which makes it far cheaper to poll.

Parameters

None.

Response

pending — transactions ready for inclusion, keyed by sender address and then by nonce. Each value is a string of the form recipient: value wei + gas gas × gasPrice wei.
queued — transactions held back because the sender’s nonce sequence has a gap, in the same shape.

Arc produces a block roughly every 0.5 seconds, so the pool drains quickly and both objects are frequently empty. An empty result means the node had nothing pending at that moment, not that the method failed.

`txpool_inspect` code examples

const { JsonRpcProvider } = require("ethers");

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider("CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL");

async function call() {
  const result = await provider.send("txpool_inspect", []);
  console.log(result);
}

call();

from web3 import Web3

node_url = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL"
web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(node_url))

result = web3.provider.make_request("txpool_inspect", [])
print(result)

curl -X POST "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "txpool_inspect",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

Use case

Use txpool_inspect when you want to know whether a sender has transactions stuck in the pool without pulling every field of every transaction. Because a nonce gap parks everything behind it in queued, this is the fastest way to see that a sender is blocked and which nonce is missing.
