Wallet Optimization

Depending on how much CCX you want to transfer, you might run into the error Transaction size is too big, please optimize your wallet or Transaction is too big. Often, this is because of a lot of small incoming transactions.

With the CLI wallet or the GUI wallet, you can optimize your wallet to send larger transactions or a single big transaction. Like any other transaction on the network, you will need to wait for confirmation of the optimization transactions to spend those funds.

The process of optimizing your wallet takes all your small incoming transactions and combines them into bigger ones by sending them to yourself. It is akin to replacing a handful of small currency bills with a single larger one. Once the process is complete you will be able to send larger transactions.

Important: Wallets used by service providers like Exchanges should schedule regular optimizations and run optimizations consecutively until outputs are less than 100.
