One of the important attributes of the new upgrade is that two consensus parameters need to be manually configured, as in the absence of this feature, the software will fail to run. These parameters include
- excessiveblocksizeconsensus- This parameter reveals the maximum block size that the software will accept. The blocks which will cross the value prescribed by the parameter will be considered invalid.
- maxstackmemoryusageconsensus- This parameter specifies the maximum amount of stack memory that a script can infuse during evaluation. The transactions whose script value will surpass the parameter limit will be considered invalid. It will run during block validation as it is a consensus parameter.
