# GH-4056-add\_raw\_data\_pointers\_to\_AENS

* Introduce a new type of pointer for AENS names. The raw data pointer/value is\
  an arbitrary sized byte array (max 1024 bytes). And since before there is a\
  maximum of 32 key-pointer pairs. FATE VM and Sophia are updated to allow full\
  access to the new pointer type (See\
  <https://github.com/aeternity/aesophia/blob/master/docs/sophia\\_stdlib.md#aensv2>).
