Checking pending and queued transactions in your EVM node's local pool

This article applies to:

• Ethereum
• Polygon
• Binance Smart Chain

For information on pending and queued transactions and how an Ethereum node processes them, see Difference between pending and queued transactions on an EVM node.

All listed commands are done in a Geth console. See Chainstack Docs: Ethereum tools, Polygon tools, Binance Smart Chain tools.

To get all pending transactions submitted through the node and pending in the node's pool:

eth.pendingTransactions

To get the number of all global pending and queued transactions in the local pool of your node, run:

txpool.status

To get summarized details of all global pending and queued transactions in the local pool, run:

txpool.inspect

To get complete details on all global pending and queued transactions in the local pool, run:

txpool.content

To get the total number of transactions from an account included in blocks, run:

eth.getTransactionCount("ADDRESS")

To get the account nonce of a transaction, run:

eth.getTransaction("TRANSACTION_HASH")

See also Fixing queued transactions with the account nonce not in sequence.

The txpool namespace is only available for dedicated nodes. See also API namespaces available for a public EVM node.
