Originally created by @realloc on GitHub (Jul 18, 2022).

We need a documentation page describing basic limitation of neo-go and a list of associated settings affecting it. There are nice and clear comments all over the codebase, but this page would be targeting mostly operations people, hence it needs some level of information simplification/rework.

As an operations person, I expect information like:

How much data can a transaction handle
How many transactions fit into a block
How big is the block
How much data can be stored in a Smart Contract storage
How much time a transaction can be in the pool before going to the block
How deep is the history for the contract
etc

How deep is the history for the contract

MaxTraceableBlocks from the same page as well.

That's what code-level limits can look like: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pkg/config/limits
