Resources

Resource consumption metrics for Soroban transactions.

These metrics define the maximum resources a transaction can consume during execution. They are used to:

• Calculate resource fees

• Ensure network capacity limits aren't exceeded

• Provide execution guarantees

Obtaining Resource Values

Always use simulation results when possible:

val simulation = server.simulateTransaction(tx)
// Extract from simulation's transactionData

Manual construction (testing only):

val resources = SorobanDataBuilder.Resources(
    cpuInstructions = 1000000,
    diskReadBytes = 5000,
    writeBytes = 2000
)

Resource Limits

Each resource has network-level limits:

• CPU Instructions: ~100M per transaction (varies by network)

• Disk Read: ~200KB per transaction

• Write: ~100KB per transaction

Exceeding these limits causes transaction failure.
