+# filippo.io/edwards25519
+
+```
+import "filippo.io/edwards25519"
+```
+
+This library implements the edwards25519 elliptic curve, exposing the necessary APIs to build a wide array of higher-level primitives.
+Read the docs at [pkg.go.dev/filippo.io/edwards25519](https://pkg.go.dev/filippo.io/edwards25519).
+
+The code is originally derived from Adam Langley's internal implementation in the Go standard library, and includes George Tankersley's [performance improvements](https://golang.org/cl/71950). It was then further developed by Henry de Valence for use in ristretto255.
+
+Most users don't need this package, and should instead use `crypto/ed25519` for signatures, `golang.org/x/crypto/curve25519` for Diffie-Hellman, or `github.com/gtank/ristretto255` for prime order group logic. However, for anyone currently using a fork of `crypto/ed25519/internal/edwards25519` or `github.com/agl/edwards25519`, this package should be a safer, faster, and more powerful alternative.
+
+Since this package is meant to curb proliferation of edwards25519 implementations in the Go ecosystem, it welcomes requests for new APIs or reviewable performance improvements.
