Compiled webassembly of bitcoin secp256k1
- install library
$ npm install js-secp256k1You can build secp256k1 wasm yourself with emscripten. We build two version of secp256k1 - node and web. The only difference is that there is no file system in web version.
$ sh build.shAfter build wasm files, you should build javascript library again.
