When set to `true`, transactions up to 128KB can be sent directly to consensus nodes without using Hedera File Service (HFS), as long as contract bytecode doesn't exceed 24KB. When set to `false`, all transactions containing contract deployments use the traditional HFS approach. This feature leverages the increased transaction size limit to simplify processing of standard Ethereum transactions. |
