Research
Mempool Transactions that are way too expensive to be executed and can’t be replaced

Transactions that are too cheap and will never be executable
https://blockscout.com/xdai/mainnet/tx/0x0adeb6c464c37c86145f135fb9e9252ca504d5706226b7b250ddfb05e42075b8
Small oversight because it’s a local transaction, but shouldn’t be an issue
Nethermind will fix this, but it’s no big deal
Will get evicted if a more appropriate transaction comes in
Tests
Hive: Good progress pre and post-shanghai. Implement tests for post-shanghai scenarios.
Syncing status: Producing blocks and sending transactions. Verified that withdrawals work like expected. Not getting the expected results. But the root is built correctly and the withdrawals are indeed being executed. Later (timeline: 2-3 weeks)
Block reorgs and syncing issues. Edge cases: Integrate Erigon. Making sure that everything integrated with Nethermind also works with Erigon.
