What's New
Upgrade to protocol v137 adds allowances, gas cost adjustments, and PTB reference checks.
Breaking Changes
- The derivation of SuiTransactionBlockEffects.shared_objects changed to include implicitly read system objects.
New Features
- New allowances feature for transaction management.
- Support for public(package) constants in Move packages.
- New memory invariant check for reference/value usage in PTBs.
- TransactionExpiration::Validity now accepted on all networks.
- Archival gRPC service now serves MovePackageService endpoints.
Improvements
- Gas cost adjustments for LdConst abstract value size.
- Object-funds withdrawal checks enabled on devnet.
- Consensus transaction pool optimization for validators.
- gRPC services enhanced with V1 effect details.
- Ristretto255 range proof verification is cheaper.
Upgrade Notes
Consumers must filter SuiTransactionBlockEffects.shared_objects against transaction inputs as it may include implicitly read system objects. Gas costs for LdConst have increased slightly due to abstract value size calculation.
