Deep Insights
16.1M downloads in the last 30 days (537.0K/day). Volume is roughly flat compared to the previous period.
1.1K crates depend on sec1. Strong ecosystem adoption means battle-tested code and long-term stability.
The primary maintainer publishes 220 crates. This suggests deep Rust expertise and long-term commitment to the ecosystem.
Despite being 5+ years old, sec1 hasn't reached 1.0 yet. Expect potential API changes between versions.
At 22KB, sec1 is lightweight. Small crate size correlates with focused, well-scoped functionality.
Notable dependents include elliptic-curve, libp2p-identity, ssh-key, russh, webrtc-dtls. When high-quality crates choose sec1, it's a strong quality signal.
