Welcome to the UltrafastSecp256k1 Discussions space.

This repository focuses on high-performance implementations of the secp256k1 elliptic curve, targeting CPU, CUDA GPU, and RISC-V architectures. The primary goal is performance exploration, architectural efficiency, and benchmarking — not breaking cryptographic assumptions.

This Discussions section is intended for:

• Technical questions about implementation details
• Optimization strategies (CPU / GPU / vectorization)
• Field arithmetic and scalar arithmetic design decisions
• GLV usage and coordinate system tradeoffs
• Benchmark methodology and profiling insights
• Suggestions, improvements, and architectural feedback

📌 Scope Clarification

UltrafastSecp256k1 is a performance-focused research project.

It does not claim:

• Any weakness in secp256k1
• Practical discrete logarithm attacks
• Private key recovery capability

The discrete logarithm problem remains computationally infeasible under current cryptographic assumptions.

🧠 Development Status

The project is under active development and optimization.
Some modules reflect iterative tuning stages, and naming may evolve as benchmarking stabilizes.

Documentation will continue to improve over time as performance experiments mature.

🤝 Community Guidelines

• Please keep discussions technical and constructive.
• Performance claims should ideally be accompanied by reproducible benchmark data.
• Architecture-level insights and profiling observations are highly appreciated.

If you're working on ECC performance, CUDA optimization, RISC-V vectorization, or low-level arithmetic tuning, your feedback is very welcome.

Thanks for your interest in UltrafastSecp256k1.
