Edky CLI tool converts Ed25519 public keys across multiple text encodings

A developer has released Edky, a command-line tool and Rust library designed to convert Ed25519 public keys between various text encoding formats. Ed25519 keypairs are widely used across modern systems, but the same underlying key can appear in incompatible formats such as hexadecimal, Base64, Base32z, Base58, and Multibase depending on the platform. This fragmentation makes it difficult to reuse a single keypair across different systems like iroh, libp2p, and NEAR Protocol. Edky addresses this gap by enabling straightforward conversion between these surface encodings via a simple CLI command. The tool is installable through Cargo and, according to its creator, fills a conversion utility gap that surprisingly did not exist before.
