Description
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.
