Show HN: Edky, a CLI to convert Ed25519 public keys from one encoding to another

Everything increasingly runs on Ed25519 keypairs, but Ed25519 public keys can be encoded as text in dozens of surface-incompatible different ways: hexadecimal, Base64 (OpenSSH), Base32z (iroh, pkdns), Base58 (NEAR), and Multibase (IPFS, libp2p), just for starters. Edky is a command-line tool and Rust library that converts between these Ed25519 surface encodings, aiding use of the same underlying keypair across e.g. an iroh endpoint, a libp2p peer, or a NEAR Protocol account. (Surprisingly, a conversion utility like this didn't yet exist!) $ cargo binstall -y edky $ edky convert -f iroh -t libp2p 47pjoycnsrfmxikm95jh13y88e8qnhzu5kungjpxyepgt7a8krpy z6MktwupdmLXVVqTzCw4i46r4uGyosGXRnR3XjN4Zq7oMMsw $ edky convert -f libp2p -t iroh z6MktwupdmLXVVqTzCw4i46r4uGyosGXRnR3XjN4Zq7oMMsw 47pjoycnsrfmxikm95jh13y88e8qnhzu5kungjpxyepgt7a8krpy $ edky convert -f near -t hex ed25519:FVen3X669xLzsi6N2V91DoiyzHzg1uAgqiT8jZ9nS96Z d75a980182b10ab7d54bfed3c964073a0ee172f3daa62325af021a68f707511a $ edky convert -f hex -t near d75a980182b10ab7d54bfed3c964073a0ee172f3daa62325af021a68f707511a ed25519:FVen3X669xLzsi6N2V91DoiyzHzg1uAgqiT8jZ9nS96Z
