    "blockchain_type": "array",
    "public_key": "512B996635F56C82B9D0387A5CFDDD69B7CDB18868828BA8FF4E2780E521879C117C83098CEF0461077140D84D570F99F3E717299F2BA504562D5B4BE5CDD708",

    "sign_type": "VRS_canonical", //default RSV_noncanonical
    "public_key": "512B996635F56C82B9D0387A5CFDDD69B7CDB18868828BA8FF4E2780E521879C117C83098CEF0461077140D84D570F99F3E717299F2BA504562D5B4BE5CDD708"
  }
}
