Should you contribute to bitcoin-core/secp256k1?

bitcoin-core/secp256k1 has a FoundDev health score of 80/100, which puts it in the active-and-maintained tier. The maintainer team is shipping recently, issues are being closed, and a PR you open this week has a realistic chance of being reviewed.

Last push was 1 days ago — that signals an actively maintained project. New issues are likely to get a maintainer response within days. The project is written primarily in C, so prior C experience will shorten ramp-up.

Licensed under MIT, a standard OSI-approved license — safe to contribute to under normal employer IP policies.
