Solana Mainnet Upgrade Increases Maximum Transaction Size to 4096 Bytes

Odaily News: Solana has increased the maximum size of a single transaction from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes. The upgrade went live on the mainnet on Tuesday at approximately 1:00 UTC, at the start of epoch 1035.The upgrade introduces the v1 transaction format and maintains full backward compatibility with legacy transactions. Existing applications and wallet providers can continue using the original format, while protocols that need to leverage the increased capacity must upgrade to v1 transactions.The Solana Foundation stated that the capacity increase will support more complex operations within a single transaction, such as zero-knowledge proofs, multisig transactions, and new on-chain signing schemes.
