Need a bit more info:
putting this back to the backlog due to these factors:
chainsafe/bls
require type: module
which might lead to breaking changes in TaquitoAdded with the fact that tz4 address support for signing operations aren't particularly mandatory in order for users to use Taquito effectively.
We now have the es-blst
package published under the ECAD organization: https://github.com/ecadlabs/es-blst
We encountered several difficulties when trying to integrate the package into Taquito to help sign tz4
addresses.
taquito-signer
, we would need to bubble up await
up to the taquito-signer
, making it an async function (which it wasn't before).Some of these can be fixed when Taquito supports ESM, or if we can find a non-hacky workaround for CJS solutions.

New package uses ESM that is of a newer version than the rest of Taquito packages. In the long run, we want to have support for both ESM and CJS, but it will be a step by step process. We will start with the new async signer package for BLS only that would support both ESM and CJS. It will bubble up to the rest of the packages where required. we will create a separate repo for BLS tz4 signatures and it will match with how other curves supported outside of taquito set of packages.
Mumbai Protocol update adds further support in Michelson for tz4 prefixed addresses (BLS signatures). We want to support these changes in Taquito.
