Summary
Updates the Solana verification method type from
Ed25519VerificationKey2018toEd25519VerificationKey2020across the spec and test vectors.Changes
Ed25519VerificationKey2018→Ed25519VerificationKey2020Why
Ed25519VerificationKey2018usespublicKeyBase58which is deprecated in the W3C DID Specification Registries.Ed25519VerificationKey2020usespublicKeyMultibase(multicodec prefix), which is the current standard used by did:key, did:sns, did:web, and other active DID methods.This improves cross-method interoperability — verifiers supporting the 2020 type can verify Solana did:pkh signatures without special handling for the deprecated 2018 format.
