This library is a Nim re-implementation of [eth-keys ](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-keys ): the common API for working with Ethereum's public and private keys, signatures, and addresses.

By default, Nim eth-keys uses Bitcoin's [libsecp256k1 ](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1 ) as a backend. Make sure libsecp256k1 is available on your system.
