point: allow compressed and uncompressed serialization #33

Closed jsign closed 1 year ago

jsign commented 1 year ago

This PR is an experimental change to change our elliptic curve point serialization from compressed to uncompressed by default.

We still keep the compressed flavor used in proofs, since the main intention is to see how this improves the performance in go-verkle regarding deserializing points.

The main intention of this PR is to support an experimental go-verkle version.

Closing this PR for now, I'll open a new version of it today.
