Cardano is an eUTXO Ouroboros Proof-of-Stake blockchain framework for building consumer products and services, governing and financial systems. It offers a research base peer review stability, predictable cost and non-custodial building blocks by default.


max_block_ex_mem

Cardano has over 40 network parameters. Parameters are the mechanisms that control how the Cardano Blockchain works.

In this installment of our Cardano Network Parameters series, we examine max block execution memory (max_block_ex_mem). This parameter sets a limit on how much memory can be used for all scripts within a single block. It helps balance everyday transaction efficiency with the needs of more intense – and perhaps less frequent – tasks. The current value of the max_block_ex_mem is set to 62000000 (62 Million Units). But what does that mean, and why does it matter?

What is it:

The max_block_ex_mem sets an upper limit on how much computer memory (RAM), all scripts combined inside a block is allowed to use….
