And So Satoshi Selected secp256k1 for Bitcoin, But There Are Better Curves for Smart Contracts

Meet the BN256 Curve

Satoshi Nakamoto selected the secp256k1 curve for Bitcoin, and which was then adopted for Ethereum. The basis of this is the ECDSA signature. But, it is not that scalable for processing. For this, there are more scalable curves around, such as BN128. So, here’s DLEQ…
