A blockchain precompile is a built-in function that allows smart contracts to perform specialised operations through a blockchain's underlying infrastructure. These functions typically handle computationally expensive tasks, including cryptographic calculations, digital signature verification and mathematical operations used in zero-knowledge proofs.
Ordinarily, smart contracts execute instructions through a blockchain's virtual machine to perfo…
