    Much of what you'll find highly visibly will be high-level libraries, but look at their dependencies. For example, from the ed25519 library you may find ed25519-dalek, and from there you could find curve25519-dalek which deals in point encodings and that like. (I don't know these particular libraries; they might help or just serve as an example of a viable exploration path).
