It allows you to create signing and verifying keypairs, sign messages deterministically, and verify signatures. The underlying C code is from the SUPERCOP benchmark suite and is in the public domain; the Python binding is MIT-licensed.\n\nThe package is designed for systems like NANO that require Ed25519 signatures with BLAKE2b hashing. Keys and signatures are compact (32 bytes for keys, 64 bytes for signatures), and operations complete in milliseconds. It provides both binary and ASCII-encoded (base64, base32, base16, hex) interfaces for keys and signatures, making it easy to serialize and transmit them.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Ed25519 signatures with BLAKE2b for NANO or a compatible system. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. Install friction is moderate due to C compilation, but prebuilt wheels cover common platforms. Verify that this fork is the recommended version for your use case, as the repository has minimal visibility (1 star)."},"id":"ed25519-blake2b-fork","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ed25519-blake2b-fork","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ed25519-blake2b-fork.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ed25519-blake2b-fork/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ed25519-blake2b-fork","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Ed25519 public-key signatures (BLAKE2b fork)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":182671,"position":10089,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.2"}
