In Solana news Today, the new Transaction V1 format went live on mainnet at approximately 01:00 UTC on September 15, 2026, raising the maximum size of a single transaction from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes, according to the Solana Foundation.<\/p>\n

That is roughly 3.3 times more room for instructions, signatures, and account data packed into one transaction. This changes how much data a transaction can carry, not how many transactions Solana processes per second, and most users should see ordinary SOL transfers look and feel the same.<\/p>\n

Solana Transaction V1: What\u2019s Changing?<\/p>\n

.@solana<\/a> is scheduled to activate Transaction V1 on mainnet around Sep 15, increasing the maximum serialized transaction size from 1,232 bytes \u2192 4,096 bytes.<\/p>\n

The upgrade matters because Solana has spent years being faster and cheaper than Ethereum while working under a hard byte ceiling that rival networks did not share.<\/p>\n

Related coverage of Solana\u2019s price action around the rollout<\/a> shows how the market has been digesting the network\u2019s ongoing scaling push. At the time of writing, SOL USD is trading just above $100, down -1% over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
