Problem
A
Pubkeyis currently being represented as a lightweight alias over a[u8; 32]array. This is different from thePubkeytype on Solana SDK, which makes it confusing to write code that supports both pubkey "types".Solution
Use the new
Addresstype from Solana SDK instead. AnAddressis also defined as an alias over[u8; 32], so the breaking change is limited to the import of the type. The SDK provides helpers methods to convert to/from anAddressfor the SDK'sPubkey.
