MaxStorageKeyLen

Constant v334 → current u32

Limits individual storage key sizes.

Current Value

128
Relevant for: developers

The Big Picture

Contract storage keys have a maximum length. Very long keys would waste storage and slow lookups. Keep keys short and structured.

From Chain Metadata

The maximum allowable length in bytes for storage keys.

Use Cases

  • Plan storage key naming
  • Understand storage constraints

Code Examples

import { createClient, Binary } from "polkadot-api";
import { getWsProvider } from "polkadot-api/ws";
import { sub } from "@polkadot-api/descriptors"; // generated by: npx papi add sub -w wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443

const client = createClient(getWsProvider("wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443"));
const api = client.getTypedApi(sub);

// Query MaxStorageKeyLen constant
const value = await api.constants.Contracts.MaxStorageKeyLen();
console.log("MaxStorageKeyLen:", value);
