Mempool congestion significantly delays atomic swap completion times by increasing transaction backlogs and fee competition. During peak network activity, swaps may take hours instead of minutes, as unconfirmed transactions clutter the mempool. High gas fees during congestion also raise swap costs, discouraging participation. Studies show that a 50% increase in mempool size correlates with a 30% rise in average swap completion time. Solutions like batch processing and off-chain negotiation channels can mitigate delays. However, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) relying on atomic swaps remain vulnerable to congestion-induced inefficiencies, highlighting the need for scalable Layer-2 solutions.
