Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for Aztec Protocol's aztec-packages focusing on strengthening key management and deployment reliability. Delivered a new export option for the UltraKeccakHonk verification key to support conditional writing of ultrahonVk or ultrakeccakVk, and tightened coinbase address validation in the Spartan shell script to prevent null/default addresses and enforce Ethereum address format. These changes improve security, reduce deployment risk, and enable downstream conditional logic in verification key handling.
