[clarity] Clarity-Bitcoin v5 (32-byte / 256-bit numbers & math) #3975

Open setzeus opened 1 year ago

setzeus commented 1 year ago

Feature Description One of the biggest blockers for schnorr sigs, zkp & any crypto primitives that requires scalar manipulation natively is lack of 32-byte / 256-bit math in Clarity.

@FriendsFerdinand is leading the effort here & will have a draft (or update) up by end of this sprint.

Additional Context Due to the lack of a central home (first Jude's repo, now Friedgers), I'm not entirely sure where this v5 will live so we must make sure to link that repo back here to appropriately track & close this issue.

Struggling with read/write costs here but critical / needed for Nakamoto.

Looking like it's ultimately too expensive from a cost analysis for multiplication.

Exploring one final format to alleviating costs but not v hopeful.
