The mempool is a very important part of Bitcoin transaction management. It is where all pending transactions go before being selected by miners. The mempool is a temporary intermediate memory where transactions are temporarily stored.

In the first phase, the mempool receives transactions generated by users on the network, and then miners access it and begin to select transactions to be included in the next block. The fewer transactions there are in the mempool, the less pressure there will be on the network and the faster the confirmations will be. This is why when the mempool is full (+/- 450MB/1GB), confirmations usually take longer. When there are many transactions waiting in the mempool, network fees tend to increase due to high demand. The user can choose the fee they want to pay at the time of the transaction, and that fee will be taken into account by miners when they choose transactions to include in the next block.

In terms of security, it is worth noting that there are some scams with transactions in the mempool, we cannot forget that a transaction in the mempool is not a validated transaction.
