Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

"Investigation into Craig Wright's claims about the secp256k1 curve used in Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography being suitable for bi-linear pairings."
So it's just telling you how to turn data into curve points for many different curves. For secp256k1 Shallue-Woestijne is normally used, as I believe it's the fastest of the options.
- "One-Time Verifiably Encrypted Signatures" about to get merged into secp256k1-zkp

MicroStrategy has purchased an additional ~19,452 bitcoins for ~$1.026 billion in cash at an average price of ~$52,765 per #bitcoin.
It uses this code but it's still a bit raw, there isn't like a simple tool you can use to make/verify these proofs yet.

What do you think about server-side Swift?
Are you aware of SwiftCrypto (granted it is missing some capabilities)?

Apple rejects Bitcoin EC curve: Please help writing - on Github - CONSTRUCTIVE and POLITE contra-arguments and maybe we can convince them to change their mind (requires Github account)
swift-crypto is open source, not closed source. I dont work at Apple, but I’m a contributor: https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto/graphs/contributors
- Help getting Eth/BTC curve secp256k1 added to Apples swift-crypto for safer wallets, by upvoting proposal on Github. Also on Github write any missing adoption breakthroughs I’ve missed.

Swift Playgrounds 4
Apple is investing a lot in it, but Swift is much younger than Rust (especially as an open source project). There is a working group that meets every few weeks to shepherd the various projects. Most of the recent activity has been (AFAICT) about orchestration. Well, that and transitioning projects to use async/await and structured concurrency. Here's some recent activity in the Swift on server space:
- the proposal for distributed actors is currently in-review (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...)
- a metrics API for backends like Graphite, Prometheus, etc. (https://github.com/apple/swift-metrics)
- HTTP/2 support for SwiftNIO (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio-http2)
- a new service discovery API (https://github.com/apple/swift-service-discovery)
- a new distributed tracing API (https://github.com/apple/swift-distributed-tracing)
- a Linux implementation of Apple's CryptoKit API on top of BoringSSL (https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto)
I'm not pretending that it's taking the server-side world by storm, but there is a fair amount of ongoing activity Personally, I'm using it for a couple personal projects and it's been solid, but I'm already a macOS developer, so it wasn't a big stretch for me to reach for it.
