 This document specifies basic polynomial operations and KZG polynomial commitment operations as they are needed for the EIP-4844 specification. The implementations are not optimized for performance, but readability. All practical implementations should optimize the polynomial operations.
 
+Functions flagged as "Public method" MUST be provided by the underlying KZG library as public functions. All other functions are private functions used internally by the KZG library.
