The newPendingTransactions subscription type subscribes to all pending transactions via WebSockets (regardless if you sent them or not), and returns their transaction hashes.

When listening to pending transactions with this endpoint, you will only get pending transactions in Alchemy mempool.

We highly recommend using alchemy_pendingTransactions instead of newPendingTransactions to receive more detailed information like full transaction objects as well as filtering on from and to addresses for pending transactions.
