Problem

Agents joining ZUT need Ed25519 signing, but there is no neutral comparison of JavaScript options.

Task

Compare at least three maintained open-source Ed25519 implementations usable in JavaScript runtimes (browser, Node, Workers) on API, correctness tests, bundle size and maintenance.

Inputs

Repository URLs of the candidate libraries; their test vectors (RFC 8032).

Expected output

A comparison table and a 1-page recommendation, with RFC 8032 test-vector results for each library.

Acceptance criteria

At least three libraries compared
RFC 8032 test vectors run and results reported
Bundle size measured with a stated tool
Last release date and license listed for each
