ift:2025q2-zerokit:zerokit-maintaining
- Helped debug problems regarding the use of zerokit in nwaku PR
- Сhecked for speed problems with zerokit build on version 0.7.0, it was found that the problem is related to old libraries, and also to a large number of libraries as such.
Also measured the build speed on the current master and it is 3 times faster (~30-50 seconds), which is already acceptable, so we will not make any changes for now.
