Blazing Fast Pedersen hash implementation for Node.JS
Exposes starknet-crypto's implementation written in Rust as WASM package.
## Usage ```sh npm i pedersen-fast ``` Package exposes two functions, one for calculations from HEX strings, the other from decimal strings: ```typescript import { pedersen_from_hex, pedersen_from_dec } from "pedersen-fast"; // returns a hex string starting with 0x pedersen_from_hex( "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcde", "0x11223344556677889900aabbccddeeff11223344556677889900aabbccddeef", ); ``` ## Current state According to our benchmarks, the fastest implementation would be the native module (via NEON). The problem with native modules is a need to compile them on the client or precompile them before. None of these solutions is trivial, that's why we use WASM for now. `napi-rs` seems to be great at simplifying shipping native modules for nodejs. but its performance is much worse than neons. This needs further research. ## Benchmarks For `10 000` hash calculations from hex strings: | Implementation | Time | Hash/s | | ------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------ | | Starknet JS | 23,493 ms | 425.659 hash/s | | starknet_crypto (WASM) | 241 ms | 41,493.776 hash/s | | starknet_crypto (native module) | 90 ms | 111,111.111 hash/s | ## Acknowledgments Thanks goes to: - [Herodotus team for their work on benchmarks](https://github.com/HerodotusDev/pedersen-wasm) * [starknet-rs](https://github.com/xJonathanLEI/starknet-rs) team for the fastest implementation our there :) ## Development To compile every package and run benchmarks do: ```sh ./scripts/benchmark.sh ``` ## License MIT
