Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 performance summary for coinbase/cdp-sdk: Delivered a feature to reduce JWT header size by hashing the wallet request data. Implemented SHA-256 hashing of the sorted JSON representation and introduced a deterministic sorting helper (sortKeys) to handle nested and complex types (including big.Int and big.Float). This change improves security, reduces header bloat, and supports reproducible digests for auditing. No major bug fixes were reported this month; focus was on robust feature delivery and maintainability.
