  A mempool observer is a component of the digital currency network that monitors the mempool, which is a temporary storage area for unconfirmed transactions. Its role is to keep track of the transactions waiting to be included in the next block. By observing the mempool, it can prioritize transactions based on factors like transaction fees and transaction size. This helps ensure that transactions with higher fees or smaller sizes are processed faster, improving the overall efficiency of the network.

  In simple terms, a mempool observer is like a traffic controller for digital currency transactions. It watches the mempool and directs transactions to the appropriate destination. This helps prevent congestion and ensures that transactions are processed in a timely manner. Think of it as a virtual bouncer that decides which transactions get to enter the club of confirmed transactions.
