all: EIP-1559 tx pool support (ethereum#22898)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This pull request implements EIP-1559 compatible transaction pool with dual heap eviction ordering.
It is based on ethereum#22791
The eviction ordering scheme and the reasoning behind it is described here: https://gist.github.com/zsfelfoldi/9607ad248707a925b701f49787904fd6
