Solana to triple transaction capacity on Sept 9, narrowing gap with Ethereum

Solana will launch a new transaction format, TransactionV1, to expand per-transaction capacity from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes, more than tripling the limit, CoinPost reported. The change enables processing of large cryptographic proofs and multi-signature transfers in a single transaction, while legacy formats continue to work. Software that reads blocks and transactions must support the new format. Solana is also preparing the AlpenGlow upgrade to cut finality to about 150 milliseconds and plans further rent fee and slot-time changes.
