The intermediate values are 6,333, 5,080, 2,575 and 1,322. The Solana Foundation\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/solana.com\/upgrades\/reduced-rent\">rent overview<\/a> said all five gates were inactive when accessed on Aug. 17, so the advertised 90% cut describes the completed sequence rather than the first step.<\/p>\n<p>The available material also lacked a confirmed activation for the transaction change. Solana\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/solana.com\/upgrades\/larger-transaction-sizes\">v1 transaction plan<\/a> raises the maximum payload from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes only for the new format.
