Problem
The default behavior for program deployments uses 2x the length of the deployed program. This behavior accommodated larger program deployments over time, but requires a greater upfront cost. With
solana program extend
, however, there's no need to lock up more SOL than necessary for a program.Summary of Changes
Use the program length when deploying instead of 2x, and update the documentation to reflect that change, including how to extend a program.
There might be some overlap of changes by including the
extend
documentation, so let me know if you prefer that in a separate PR!Fixes #
