More details

Luganodes has voted YES to re-enable the new signature checker in the latest Aptos governance proposal.

It is not only more efficient but also fixes a bug in the old implementation. This bug could potentially allow the publication of programs with certain invalid types, which is a significant concern for the community.

Fortunately, the bug has been patched in the compiler, ensuring that users won’t run into any issues related to it. This enhancement brings a higher level of security and reliability to the platform, which is crucial for a seamless user experience.
