​
Parameters

  • none

​
Response

  • result — a string representing the filter ID. This ID should be used in subsequent calls to eth_getFilterChanges to retrieve new pending transactions.

​
Use case

The eth_newPendingTransactionFilter method is useful for applications that need to monitor the mempool for new transactions. Common use cases include:
  • Building transaction monitoring tools
  • Creating real-time transaction tracking interfaces
  • Implementing MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) strategies
  • Monitoring specific addresses for pending transactions
Note: After creating the filter, you need to poll eth_getFilterChanges periodically to get updates. Filters timeout if they’re not used for a period of time, so applications should be prepared to recreate them if necessary.
