🚧 Experimental
The latest version of
flow-go-sdk
uses the crypto library from https://github.com/onflow/crypto, where as flow-go repo is using the crypto library from https://github.com/onflow/flow-go/tree/master/crypto.Because of this, updating to the latest Cadence (and hence flow-go-sdk), requires converting crypto-related types between the two libraries. But that can lead to inconsistencies (always need to keep the two libraries synced, etc.) and hence is a bit brittle.
Alternatively, this PR updates
flow-go
to also use the new crypto library from onflow/crypto, so the type conversions are not needed.
