Title

Hacking the mempool

Goal

Detect fraudulent transactions, or making legitimate trading decisions, by analysing pending transactions (= mempool)

Description

Many exploits and legitimate uses of blockchains work by taking advantage of information in the set of pending transactions. This is often called the *mempool*. You will analyse the mempool of a leading blockchain and study it either from the point of view of making trades, or of detecting illegal uses of the blockchain.
