+# `@pbnjam/bandersnatch`
+
+Bandersnatch elliptic curve primitives built on top of `@noble/curves`.
+
+This package provides:
+
+- A **Bandersnatch curve instance** (`Bandersnatch`) configured with the official parameters.
+- A **high-level helper class** (`BandersnatchCurve`) for point operations and arkworks-compatible serialization.
+- Public **curve parameters** (`BANDERSNATCH_PARAMS`).
+
+> Note: VRF functionality and Elligator2 hash-to-curve are implemented in `@pbnjam/bandersnatch-vrf`.
+
+## Installation
+
+This repository uses Bun workspaces. From the monorepo root, install deps once:
+
+```bash
+bun install
+```
+
+Within another workspace package, add a dependency on `@pbnjam/bandersnatch` via the workspace tooling you use (Bun/npm/pnpm/yarn).
+
+## Usage
+
+### Import the public API
+
+```ts
+import { Bandersnatch, BandersnatchCurve, BANDERSNATCH_PARAMS } from '@pbnjam/bandersnatch'
+import type { CurvePoint } from '@pbnjam/bandersnatch'
+```
+
+### Work with points (high-level helpers)
+
+`BandersnatchCurve` exposes common operations over **Noble** Bandersnatch points (`EdwardsPoint` from `@noble/curves`), such as:
+
+- `GENERATOR`: the canonical generator point
+- `INFINITY`: point at infinity (identity)
+- `add(P, Q)`, `negate(P)`, `scalarMultiply(P, k)`
+
+```ts
+import { BandersnatchCurve } from '@pbnjam/bandersnatch'
+
+const P = BandersnatchCurve.GENERATOR
+const Q = BandersnatchCurve.scalarMultiply(P, 2n)
+const R = BandersnatchCurve.add(P, Q)
+const negR = BandersnatchCurve.negate(R)
+
+// Access affine coordinates (BigInt) via Noble helpers
+const { x, y } = R.toAffine()
+void x
+void y
+```
+
+### Arkworks-compatible point serialization
+
+The helper methods are intended to be compatible with arkworks’ Twisted Edwards compression format.
+
+```ts
+import { Bandersnatch, BandersnatchCurve } from '@pbnjam/bandersnatch'
+
+// Noble point → compressed bytes (arkworks-compatible)
+const noblePoint = Bandersnatch.BASE
+const compressed = BandersnatchCurve.pointToBytes(noblePoint)
+
+// Compressed bytes → Noble point (throws on invalid encoding)
+const parsed = BandersnatchCurve.bytesToPoint(compressed)
+```
+
+## Public API
+
+### Exports
+
+From `src/index.ts`:
+
+- `BandersnatchCurve`
+- `Bandersnatch`
+- `BANDERSNATCH_PARAMS`
+- `CurvePoint` (type)
+
+### `CurvePoint`
+
+`CurvePoint` is a simple structural representation used by some algorithms (notably `@pbnjam/bandersnatch-vrf`’s Elligator2 hash-to-curve helpers):
+
+- `x: bigint`
+- `y: bigint`
+- `isInfinity: boolean`
+
+## Parameters
+
+All protocol constants are defined in `src/config.ts` as `BANDERSNATCH_PARAMS` (field modulus, curve order, generator, coefficients, and related configuration used by dependent packages).
+
+## Development
+
+From `packages/bandersnatch`:
+
+```bash
+bun run test
+```
+
+```bash
+bun run build
+```
+
+## Security & correctness notes
+
+- `BandersnatchCurve` uses BigInt arithmetic and performs modular operations over the Bandersnatch field.
+- When handling serialized points, treat all external inputs as untrusted and rely on parsing/validation helpers (avoid manual decoding).
