In the README, it says:
Only secp256k1 curve, only SHA-512 (KDF), HMAC-SHA-256 (HMAC) and AES-256-CBC for ECIES
and then it says:
Also WebCryptoAPI currently defines only curves recommended by NIST meaning that secp256k1 (K-256) curve is not supported (see also: [1], [2]).
Is this library using secp256k1 or not?
There's a link after that with text "seck256k1" that actually points to https://www.npmjs.com/package/secp256k1
So, which curve does this library use?

WebCryptoAPI doesn't support K-256 (i.e. browsers don't support K-256 natively), so this library uses standalone implementation of that curve.
