Each list item shod be presented as a known native contract name with the corresponding list of chain's heights. The contract is not active until chain reaches the first height value specified in the list.	Notary is supported.
P2PNotaryRequestPayloadPoolSize	int	1000	Size of the node's P2P Notary request payloads memory pool where P2P Notary requests are stored before main or fallback transaction is completed and added to the chain. This option is valid only if P2PSigExtensions are enabled.	Not supported by the C# node, thus may affect heterogeneous networks functionality.
P2PSigExtensions	bool	false	Enables following additional Notary service related logic: • Transaction attributes NotValidBefore, Conflicts and NotaryAssisted • Network payload of the P2PNotaryRequest type • Native Notary contract • Notary node module	Not supported by the C# node, thus may affect heterogeneous networks functionality.
P2PStateExchangeExtensions	bool	false	Enables following P2P MPT state data exchange logic: • StateSyncInterval protocol setting • P2P commands GetMPTDataCMD and MPTDataCMD	Not supported by the C# node, thus may affect heterogeneous networks functionality.
RemoveUntraceableBlocks	bool	false	Denotes whether old blocks should be removed from cache and database. If enabled, then only last MaxTraceableBlocks are stored and accessible to smart contracts.
ReservedAttributes	bool	false	Allows to have reserved attributes range for experimental or private purposes.
