AIP Discussion

This feature allows Move smart contract developers to efficiently implement BN2541$^,$2 elliptic curve arithemetic operations via the crypto_algebra Move module from AIP-203.

BN254 is a popular elliptic curve, partly due to its Ethereum precompile support4 and efficiency. For example, many zero-knowledge (ZK) projects are building on top of BN2545$^,$6$^,$7.
