eth_newPendingTransactionFilter

BNB Smart Chain operates as chain ID 56 and meters gas in BNB, and eth_newPendingTransactionFilter lets you observe its mempool as transactions queue up ahead of the next ~3-second PoSA block. Directed at https://bsc.therpc.io/YOUR_API_KEY, it creates a server-side filter for incoming pending transactions and returns a hex filter ID. Poll that ID with eth_getFilterChanges and the node hands back the hashes of pending transactions it has seen since your last poll, giving polling clients a mempool feed without keeping a WebSocket open to BNB Smart Chain.

Use cases

• Watch the BNB Smart Chain mempool for pending transactions originating from a particular sender so you can react before they are mined.
• Build a live gas-price gauge by sampling the fees attached to pending transactions and charting BNB tip levels over time.

Errors & troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

• Each poll delivers nothing but transaction hashes; resolve the full body with eth_getTransactionByHash when you need sender, value, or calldata.
• A pending transaction may never make it into a block or may be replaced by a higher-fee one with the same nonce, so never count it as confirmed.
• When BNB Smart Chain is congested the mempool can balloon and flood each poll with thousands of hashes; for sustained real-time use prefer an eth_subscribe newPendingTransactions stream over WebSocket.
