Watching the mempool during congestion really feels like observing rush hour: you sign a transaction, and it's not just "sent out and done," but rather thrown into the queue waiting for miners/validators to pick. If the gas fee is too low, it gets pushed back further, and during that time, others might use higher fees to cut in line, or even you might repeatedly accelerate or replace the same transaction (nonce set) to tinker with it. The most frustrating part is when you're watching the price hoping to buy the dip, but the queue shifts to a different level, and when slippage triggers, the transaction fails, wasting a chunk of fee... Now, during congestion, I usually check the routing and pool depth first before deciding whether to split the transaction, instead of going all-in at once. Recently, there's been a lot of narratives about AI agents automatically placing orders—people who are really skilled focus on interaction details and permissions, while those who boast loudly seem more like just trying to ride the wave... Anyway, how do you usually handle network congestion? I won't jump to conclusions yet.
