Solana Beta Mainnet Transaction V1 Activation Delayed to Epoch 1035

Solana core developer Anza said the Beta mainnet Transaction V1 activation time has been changed to begin at epoch 1035, with the expected time set for September 15, 9:20 AM (UTC+8). According to Foresight News, the delay was made because feedback from ecosystem participants indicated more time was needed to test and integrate V1. Anza said V1 is already live on devnet and should be tested as soon as possible. It added that V1 compute budgets must be set through a new transaction configuration, while the old compute budget instructions remain valid for legacy and V0 transactions but become no-ops in V1. The team also said some changes may affect applications even if they do not plan to send V1 transactions.
