A coin is a cryptocurrency that operates on its own independent blockchain network, typically used for store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account. Coins are issued through consensus mechanisms such as mining or proof-of-stake, featuring decentralization, security, and programmability, representing the base currency layer in blockchain ecosystems.

Mempool
Mempool (Memory Pool) is a temporary data structure in blockchain networks that stores pending transactions awaiting confirmation, serving as an intermediate staging area for transactions from the time they are broadcast until they are included in a block and confirmed. Each blockchain node typically maintains its own local mempool, storing transactions that have passed preliminary validation but haven't yet been included in a block by miners.
