Bounty

Currently we are using ed25519, tendermint supports secp256k1 now. We should use that to save some bits in the contracts and node-network.

Scope

Change leap-node to work with secp256k1 instead of ed25519 for validator updates.
Change the leap-contracts to reflect the changes.
Change any tests/tools which rely on the validator pubKeys.

Deliverables

Gain for the project

Publicly visible delivery

@johannbarbie Seems like we don't really save anything 🤔 The only thing there we can save some storage is to not save the tenderKey into storage but just emit it in the logs.

Or did you have another use-case on mind?

obsolete probably

wouldn't we save all the logic in the node to manage the signer key. also if validators use an HSM, they can just follow the tendermint docs. 🤔
