Description

Is there any plans to add extra curves to the project?

I am working on a PoC using the Immudb as back end, but I need to use this curve.

Something like go-ethereum can be linked or added as an external tool?

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate go ethereum's secp256k1 package into immudb's crypto library, ensuring compatibility with the zero trust model and no side effects on existing signature schemes.
