 Similarly, the `fpc-public` and `fpc-private` CLI wallet payment methods use the reference Token-based FPC and will not work on public networks. Use `fee_juice` for direct Fee Juice payment, or `fpc-sponsored` on devnet and local network.
 
+### [aztec.js] `EmbeddedWalletOptions` now uses a unified `pxe` field
+
+The `pxeConfig` and `pxeOptions` fields on `EmbeddedWalletOptions` have been deprecated in favor of a single `pxe` field that accepts both PXE configuration and dependency overrides (custom prover, store, simulator):
+
+```diff
+const wallet = await EmbeddedWallet.create(nodeUrl, {
+-  pxeConfig: { proverEnabled: true },
+-  pxeOptions: { proverOrOptions: myCustomProver },
++  pxe: {
++    proverEnabled: true,
++    proverOrOptions: myCustomProver,
++  },
+});
+```
+
+The old fields still work but will be removed in a future release.
