Replace-by-Fee (RBF)

An unconfirmed transaction can be replaced by another version of the same transaction that spends the same inputs. Most full nodes support this if the earlier transaction enables BIP125 signaling and the replacement transaction increases the amount of fee paid. In terms of block chain space used, this is the most efficient form of fee bumping.
