+## Abstract
+
+This CIP proposes to set the limit for transaction size. The proposal is to set the transaction size limit to 2MiB. Setting the transaction size limit is consensus-breaking.
+
+## Specification
+
+1. Transaction size is limited to 2MiB by setting the versioned parameter `MaxTxSize` to 2097152, which is 2MiB in bytes. From version v3 and above, in `CheckTx`, `PrepareProposal`, and `ProcessProposal`, each transaction's size is checked against the `appconsts.MaxTxSize` threshold. This ensures that transactions over the limit are rejected or excluded at all stages, from initial submission to execution.
+
+## Rationale
+
+This proposal aims to set a transaction size limit of 2 MiB, even with blocks of 8 MiB or larger, primarily as a preventative measure. Gossiping transactions approaching 8 MiB without chunking could potentially be detrimental to network performance and stability.
+
+The 2 MiB limit serves to:
+
+1. Maintain network stability
+2. Provide clear expectations for users and developers
+3. Safeguard against potential issues as network usage grows
+
+This approach prioritizes network-wide consistency and stability while allowing for future scalability considerations.
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+This proposal is meant to be included with v3 and the [Ginger Network Upgrade](./cip-25.md). It is a consensus-breaking change.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Any changes to the block validity rules (via `PrepareProposal` and `ProcessProposal`) introduce implementation risks that could potentially lead to a chain halt.
