Compute budget

The execution resource limits requested for a Solana transaction, including its compute-unit allowance.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

A wallet can simulate a transaction to estimate the work it needs and leave some room for variation. The transaction format determines how those settings are encoded, so tooling must read the right format rather than assume every budget lives in an instruction.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

Your wallet raises the compute limit after simulation shows the swap needs more execution work.
