# DA_INVALID_PAYLOAD

**DA payload empty or oversized**

## What happened

The DA layer received a payload that's either zero-length or exceeds the per-blob size limit.

## How to fix

Validate the payload length before submitting. For very large payloads, chunk into multiple DA publishes and reference them in a manifest.

## Example

```ts
if (payload.length === 0 || payload.length > MAX) {
  throw new Error("invalid payload size");
}
```
