Supported encryption keys - ssh-ed25519

My customer will need to integrate with 80 other banks via SFTP, but one of the types of Hostkey that other bank's uses is
to ed25519, but B2B does not support it. This ed25519 key will soon be used a lot
this key is becoming common.

I tried it through Secure Proxy and it looks like it doesn't support it either.

I understand that with the speed of technological evolution, this key ed25519 is becoming
common and soon will be a preference as well as RSA. In this way, I believe that B2Bi will gain 
one more positive point by supporting this algorithm.
