Modified Endpoints

The native script key hash pattern in transaction decode responses now accepts addr_vkh and stake_vkh prefixes in addition to the existing addr_shared_vkh, stake_shared_vkh, and policy_vkh prefixes.

Affected endpoints:

• POST /wallets/{walletId}/transactions-decode
• POST /shared-wallets/{walletId}/transactions-decode

Pattern changed from:

^((addr_shared_vkh)|(stake_shared_vkh)|(policy_vkh))1[0-9a-z]*$

to:

^((addr_shared_vkh)|(stake_shared_vkh)|(addr_vkh)|(stake_vkh)|(policy_vkh))1[0-9a-z]*$
