Who/What This Impacts

The built-in Cadence contract Crypto changed. This breaking change only affects users of this contract.

Why This Change Happened

  • The user domain tag was made consistent with the tag used by Flow SDKs
  • The function was renamed to consistenly use the term “verification”

Action Required

  • When using the KeyList structure from the Crypto contract, generate off-chain signatures with the user domain tag "FLOW-V0.0-user", the same tag used by the SDKs
