Non-standard Go Module Version Import Path Issue

Problem Description

When attempting to import github.com/elys-network/elys v3.0.0-rc6, I encountered the following error:

go: github.com/elys-network/elys/v3@v3.0.0-rc6: go.mod has non-.../v3 module path "github.com/elys-network/elys" (and .../v3/go.mod does not exist) at revision v3.0.0-rc6

Technical Details

According to the Go module system's semantic versioning rules, when a module's major version is greater than 1 (e.g., v3.x.x), the import path should include the version suffix. For example, a v3 version module path should be github.com/elys-network/elys/v3.

However, the current v3.0.0-rc6 version of the elys repository still uses github.com/elys-network/elys as the module path, which doesn't conform to Go module versioning conventions, making it impossible for users to import the module normally.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add the dependency in a go.mod file: github.com/elys-network/elys v3.0.0-rc6
2. Run go mod tidy
3. Encounter the error mentioned above

Expected Solution

Please consider one of the following solutions:

Create a version structure that complies with Go module standards:

• Add a /v3 directory in the repository with the appropriate go.mod file
• Or update the go.mod file to change the module path to github.com/elys-network/elys/v3

Environment Information

• Go version: 1.24.1
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
• Elys version: v3.0.0-rc6
