just a sidenote from myself. @emmanueljet you can expect few updates around developer tooling in the foreseeable future:

  • new javascript SDK version with breaking changes (including calldata-lib to get rid of http-compiler dependency for encoding/decoding contract calls) and lots of other improvements
  • new aeproject version that uses the new devmode and of course also the new javascript SDK

just to let you know :wink:
