No Waiting, No Mempool: How Solana Moves Crypto at Lightning Speed
- A Solana transaction consists of cryptographically signed instructions from accounts, updating the network.
- The structure of a Solana transaction includes signatures and a message containing the list of transactions to be processed.
- Solana maintains a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 1280 bytes for fast and reliable data transmission.
- Each Solana transaction requires 64 bytes for each signature and varying bytes based on transaction requirements for messages.
- The message header in a Solana transaction consists of three u8 integers that specify various transaction details.
- Recent Blockhash in Solana transactions prevents duplicated or stale transactions and ensures transaction order.
- Instructions within a Solana transaction contain program IDs, account address indexes, and data specific to the program.
- Solana transactions are processed quickly as the network uses a hybrid structure, allowing accounts to store data and executable code.
- RPC servers in Solana entry points relay signed transactions to leaders for validation and transaction sequencing.
- The Solana network uses various stages to process transactions efficiently, ensuring secure delivery and parallel processing.
