Please provide the following:
- A brief description of the project. This is a pure C implementation of polkadot’s key derivation and signing algorithm. The goal is to fully compatible with the original rust version.
schnorrkel plays a key role in polkadot's ecosystem, but currently it only has rust implementation officially. Although rust is popular in blockchain industry, there are still large amount of projects (such as trezor and trust wallet) are using C/C++. Porting rust in some platform (such as ios) is not frictionless, also some embeded systems require extra effort to remove std of rust to reduce bundle size. There should be a C version that implements all the features the rust versions has, at the same time, more easier to integrat into existing (C/C++)project.
- An indication of why this project is good for the ecosystem. For those C/C++ projects in the industry, if they want to support polkadot, it's more convenient to use this library instead of the rust version.
- An indication of why your team is interested in creating this project. When I'm buiding an native mobile wallet which will support polkadot, for some reasons, apple's infastructre dose not support rust very well, so I start to build the C version of the schnorrkel lib.

Possible additional information to include:
- What work has been done so far? There are some features already implemented, although need some improvement, you can check the repo here https://github.com/TerenceGe/sr25519-donna
- Are there any other projects similar to yours? If so, how is your project different? Sr25519_port Implementation by usetech-llc - which only have the sign/verify features. https://github.com/usetech-llc/sr25519 We will support all the features the rust version have, including HDKD, VRF and MulSig.
