Usage of the secp256k1 elliptic curve recently grew exponentially, since this is the curve used by Bitcoin and other popular blockchains such as Ethereum. With this, Zig has support for all the widely deployed elliptic curves today. Note that scalar multiplication doesn't leverage the curve endomorphism yet, so expect a 20% speed increase soon.
This provides a slight speedup by reducing the number of point doubling operations.
