Explanation of BLS12-381 type hierarchy
|
|
The base unit is bytes48 of which only 381 bits are used
|
|
|
|
- FQ: uint381 modulo field modulus
|
|
- FQ2: (FQ, FQ)
|
|
- G2: (FQ2, FQ2, FQ2)
|
|

## Comments
|
|
|
|
Compared to Zcash, Ethereum specs always requires the compressed form (c_flag / most significant bit always set).
|
|
Also note that pubkeys and privkeys are reversed.
