Description
This is a tracking issue for additional elliptic curves we could potentially implement.
Note that we are presently focusing on short Weierstrass curves which can be implemented using the primeorder crate. There are many other Rust projects implementing newer curve forms, such as bls12_381, curve25519-dalek and ed448-goldilocks.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the listed unimplemented curves and the project's current short Weierstrass focus using the primeorder crate. Compare the existing Rust curve implementations with the referenced bls12_381, curve25519-dalek, and ed448-goldilocks projects. Done means implementing and integrating one selected curve, but this tracking issue does not identify a specific curve or entry point.
