Releasing Constantine v0.1.0, the fastest backend for Ethereum cryptography.
BLS signatures, EVM crypto-precompiles, KZG polynomial commitments for blobs (EIP-4844). All accelerated, with multithreading support. And the fastest MSM for elliptic curves.

This looks awesome! How does Nim stack up versus something like Rust performance wise? Do you think it would be a good candidate for high performance proof systems?

I accelerate Rust code with Nim following ZAL ;), the Zk Accel Layer: https://github.com/mratsim/constantine/pull/308

Compared to Rust frameworks I'm 1.8x to 4.5x faster (Arkworks, Bellman, Halo2, see https://github.com/mratsim/constantine/pull/226 )
