Description

The transaction metadata contains values names 'v', 'r', 's'; these are specific to ECDSA, a carry-over from the Ethereum codebase. These values can be used for public key recovery from the transaction metadata in Ethereum. These variables will be removed in forthcoming testnets because the cryptography scheme used in Doge Protocol is Falcon (for quantum resistance).

Impact if not addressed

Smart Contract tests are broken and contracts might not work as expected

Priority

On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being most important)
