 1. **blake3** — `lux/crypto/blake3/` directory does not exist. C++ + Rust crate exist, but no Go canonical at all.
 2. **verkle** — `lux/crypto/verkle/verkle.go` is a pure re-export of `github.com/ethereum/go-verkle` (`type X = upstream.X`, `var Fn = upstream.Fn`). Violates "luxfi only" + "no wrapper" rules.
 3. **banderwagon** — `lux/crypto/banderwagon/` directory empty. No Go canonical, no C++, no Rust.
-4. **secp256k1** — `lux/crypto/secp256k1/secp256k1_c.go` is the de facto canonical (cgo `#include "./libsecp256k1/src/secp256k1.c"`). Only a partial vanilla Go path (`scalar_mult.go`, `dummy.go`) exists behind `!cgo`, which is incomplete relative to the cgo surface. Does not have a complete vanilla Go fallback for the full API (sign / verify / recover / pubkey).

+(Earlier draft listed `secp256k1` as a hard violation; that was a misread. `secp256k1.go` is a complete `!cgo` vanilla Go canonical via `decred/dcrd/dcrec/secp256k1/v4` (Sign/Verify/RecoverPubkey/CompressPubkey/DecompressPubkey). Cgo libsecp256k1 is the opt-in accelerator. Cross-backend KAT 2026-04-27 confirms byte-for-byte parity.)
