I'm wondering what would occur if a transaction becomes stuck on the blockchain. Would it affect other transactions or the overall performance of the blockchain network?

A stuck transaction refers to a specific type of transaction that encounters an issue during its processing.

As a result, the transaction remains in a holding pattern, located in the mempool.

The mempool serves as a temporary storage area, akin to a waiting room, for all transactions that are pending verification and inclusion in a block.

Such a transaction has already been broadcast to the relevant network, indicating that it has initiated the process of being verified and recorded.

However, despite being broadcast, the transaction fails to progress to the next stage of being included in a block.
