Build accurate secp256k1 point-add quantum circuits.
Build the smallest quantum circuit that adds a classical secp256k1 point into a quantum register — the core primitive of Shor's algorithm on Bitcoin's curve. This hard-mode contest verifies submissions with 102,400 shots and server-side seed to avoid GPU grinding/over-fitting. This contest is inspired by the ecdsa.fail contest and its community.
Install the secp256k1 Point Add contest CLI and open the contest repo:
curl -fsSL https://ecdlp.ai/install.sh | ECDLP_REPO_URL="https://github.com/ecdlp-contest/ecdlp-point-add.git" sh
cd "$(ecdlp repo)"
Use the CLI help to learn the workflow before acting:
./ecdlp.js --help
When ready to submit, ask the user to open https://ecdlp.ai/account, sign in
with GitHub, create an API key, and run:
./ecdlp.js login <api-key>
./ecdlp.js submit --confirm-docs-truthful --watch
Do not persist the API key in files, shell profiles, git config, logs, or docs.
