Issue: Application Fails to Start with "missing public key" Error

[anchalshivank]

Hi, I'm new to this community and trying to get started with the application. I followed the documentation on how to start the app, but I'm encountering an issue. Here's what's happening:
Steps to Reproduce
1. Run cargo run start for basecoin-rs:

anchalshivank@anchalshivank:/media/anchalshivank/d628748b-bd5d-418e-9d39-e3227a48b39d/basecoin-rs$ cargo run start
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.25s
    Running `target/debug/basecoin start`
2024-08-13T18:35:14.548873Z  INFO basecoin: Starting app and waiting for CometBFT to connect...
2024-08-13T18:35:14.549237Z  INFO basecoin::runner: Starting tower ABCI server

2. Run cometbft node in another terminal:

anchalshivank@anchalshivank:~/.cometbft/config$ cometbft node

3. Observe the output in the basecoin-rs terminal:
