Transaction Placement

Definition

Transaction placement refers to the process by which a digital asset transaction is submitted to a network and subsequently ordered for inclusion in a block on a blockchain. This involves a transaction being broadcast to the network’s mempool, where it awaits selection by a block producer or validator. The position a transaction receives within a block can influence its confirmation time and, in some cases, its outcome, particularly in competitive market environments. Efficient transaction placement is crucial for network utility and user experience.
