Add getPublicKeyFromAddress to derive public keys from addresses
#117
Conversation
This commit introduces getPublicKeyFromAddress, which allows deriving a CryptoKey from a given Solana address. This is useful for verifying signatures when only the address is available. - Adds getPublicKeyFromAddress to public-key.ts - Ensures the function properly asserts valid addresses before decoding - Updates tests to check valid and invalid address handling - Uses crypto.subtle.importKey to create an Ed25519 verification key

I wonder if the fact that your key operations were so far away from the Firefox fix (ie. ED25519_ALGORITHM_IDENTIFIER) is an indication that these functions should actually live in @solana/keys.
It's a bit late for that, but… maybe not too late?

This will break in Firefox. See #60.
