Motivation

While working on the ECDSA counterpart to rust-dashcore#1056, existing ECDSA usage was audited to see how it would fit with dash-pkc, in that process it was discovered that the BIP38 implementation in-tree is currently mangled and the FFIs for them stubbed.

The branch fix_bip38 is an agent-driven attempt at repairing the implementation but on second review, it was clear that there are no viable downstream consumers even if it was fixed. dashwallet-ios dropped paper wallet support with dashpay/dashwallet-ios@05c5670 with the commit explicitly acknowledging the stub FFIs

Comment
The feature was already non-functional on frozen DashSync; bringing sweep back
requires an arbitrary-address UTXO query FFI in SwiftDashSDK (a known upstream
gap; the BIP38 exports are pure-crate stubs).

platform recognises the feature in rust-dpp and rs-sdk but otherwise has no functionality built on top of it.

Search
$ git checkout tags/v4.1.1
HEAD is now at 69b85c81af chore(release): update changelog and bump version to 4.1.1 (#4413)

$ rg -n 'core_key_wallet_bip_?38'
packages/rs-dpp/Cargo.toml
95:core_key_wallet_bip_38 = ["dep:key-wallet", "key-wallet/bip38"]

packages/rs-sdk/Cargo.toml
156:core_key_wallet_bip38 = ["dpp/core_key_wallet_bip_38"]

dash-wallet relies on dashj instead of key-wallet, rendering this removal acceptable as the sole downstream consumer uses an independent implementation that does work.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a01d7

The removal is intentionally breaking and documented, but Platform must remove its BIP38 feature forwarders before advancing its pin. The current pin provides a migration window, so the change is mergeable with that coordination.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the stale Platform BIP38 feature forwarding.

When Platform points key-wallet to this revision and enables rs-sdk/core_key_wallet_bip38, DPP still forwards key-wallet/bip38. This revision removes that feature, so Cargo can reject the opt-in build. Remove the obsolete DPP forwarding feature and SDK alias as part of the breaking-change migration.

This is tru and I would love to get it removed, we are also planning on removing all FFI crates at some point, we have a draft PR for that, I am okay merging this but I would like to have Kevins opinion here tbh @xdustinface

🟡 Minor · Remove the downstream BIP38 feature forwarders before updating the pin. · Cargo.toml:16

key-wallet/Cargo.toml:16
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the downstream BIP38 feature forwarders before updating the pin.

packages/rs-dpp/Cargo.toml maps core_key_wallet_bip_38 to key-wallet/bip38, and packages/rs-sdk/Cargo.toml forwards core_key_wallet_bip38 through DPP. If the platform updates key-wallet to this revision, enabling the SDK feature can request a feature this crate no longer defines. Remove both downstream forwarders before that update. Cargo documents this dependency-feature syntax and identifies feature removal as SemVer-incompatible. (doc.rust-lang.org)

The inspected platform commit still pins key-wallet to revision 70d4bf8e36057c58e02d56769a6e9760f701dd06, which defines bip38; the break is conditional on advancing that pin.
