This seems like a very big jump, is this really necessary? Do you know what size we're at currently?

[esaminu]

We went from 68.23KB in current master to 174.92KB which is a big jump due to the secp256k1 dependency https://bundlephobia.com/package/secp256k1@4.0.3

@MaximusHaximus thoughts on how if at all this affects how we release this?

[morgsmccauley]

We'll also need a .changeset file 😄

Sorry misclick

It would be good to add more detail here, can we please expand on this? Maybe something along the lines of: "Add support for generating secp256k1 key pairs for signing and verification of messages". Not super familiar with the changes so maybe there is more.

Hey @frol, if this PR is ready to merge, we can create a new one and move the changes there again.

@gtsonevv Oh, I missed your message, sorry for the delay. I believe you are in a better position to judge if it is ready to merge. To be honest, I have never used secp256k1 keys on NEAR.
