# Blockchain transaction message length limit

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-10-01)

When I perform a transaction on the blockchain, I can add a message to the transaction, which will then exist forever in the blockchain.

Say for example I wanted to use the blockchain to store digital assets...

Could this type of information be encrypted and stored as a transaction message, and if so, is there any limit to the message length of a transaction?
