-# dig-coinstate
+# dig-mempool
+
+A fee-prioritized, conflict-aware transaction mempool for the DIG Network L2
+blockchain.
+
+`dig-mempool` accepts raw `SpendBundle` submissions, validates them internally
+via [`dig-clvm`](../dig-clvm), and manages their lifecycle — fee ordering,
+conflict detection and replace-by-fee, timelock resolution, child-pays-for-parent
+(CPFP) packaging, and capacity eviction — then selects `MempoolItem`s for block
+candidate production. It does **not** build or validate blocks; that is the
+caller's responsibility.
+
+**Boundary:** inputs are `SpendBundle` + `CoinRecord`s; output is
+`Vec<Arc<MempoolItem>>`.
+
+## Documentation
+
+- [`SPEC.md`](docs/resources/SPEC.md) — the normative specification (wire model,
+  admission pipeline, conflict/RBF rules, CPFP semantics, fee tiers, invariants).
+- [`docs/requirements/README.md`](docs/requirements/README.md) — the requirement
+  catalog (61 requirements across 8 domains).
