Contributions summary:Eduardo contributed to the migration of the `aleo-setup` from `zexe` to `snarkvm`. Their commits focused on implementing core functionalities within the `snarkvm` ecosystem, including account management and cryptographic operations. They introduced and modified code in `dpc/src/account/` and `dpc/src/errors/` to incorporate `snarkos_toolkit` functions and ensure compatibility, demonstrating their involvement in the project's fundamental logic and data structures. The changes primarily revolved around defining and implementing `ViewKey` functionalities and `Address` and `PrivateKey` functionalities using existing cryptographic schemes.
