- Replaced the p256k package with p256k1.mleku.dev/signer across the codebase, updating all instances where the previous signer was utilized.
- Removed the deprecated p256k package, including all related files and tests, to streamline the codebase and improve maintainability.
- Updated various components, including event handling, database interactions, and protocol implementations, to ensure compatibility with the new signer interface.
- Enhanced tests to validate the new signing functionality and ensure robustness across the application.
- Bumped version to v0.23.3 to reflect these changes.
- Introduced benchmark tests for JSON and binary marshaling/unmarshaling, canonical encoding, and ID generation to assess performance.
- Implemented optimizations to reduce memory allocations and CPU processing time across various encoding methods.
- Enhanced `Marshal`, `ToCanonical`, and `MarshalBinary` methods with pre-allocation strategies to minimize reallocations.
- Added handling for nil tags to avoid unnecessary allocations during binary encoding.
- Documented performance improvements in the new PERFORMANCE_REPORT.md file, highlighting significant reductions in execution time and memory usage.
