filecoin-project / paired
Pairing-friendly elliptic curve library
filecoin-project/paired holds a health index of 13 out of 100, placing it in the Critical band. It scores highest on Sustainability & Governance (73/100) and lowest on Vitality (17/100). The repository is archived, so no further maintenance is expected.
Software health index
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.
Score profile
Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.
The weighted overall 38 is calibrated to 33 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).
Ownership
This repository is backed by an organization — shared, accountable stewardship that can outlive any single maintainer.

Metrics by category
Vitality
Is the project alive — is code being written and are releases shipping?
Development activity
Work has arrived and nobody has attended to it
Silence alone is never the finding — a small, finished library may need no commits for years. This alert requires both: no human commit for a long time, and obligations the project is visibly not discharging. Automated commits do not count as maintenance.

Key facts
Data collection warnings
- Star history unavailable: GitHub GraphQL error: Resource not accessible by personal access token
- Community profile unavailable
- crates package 'paired' points at a different repository (https://github.com/filecoin-project/pairing); excluded from ecosystem scoring
More detail
Star and fork history 0 ★ / 11 ⇿
When each star and fork was added, collected from GitHub and bucketed by day. Cumulative growth sits directly above the daily additions it is made of, so the two read against each other: steady organic accretion looks nothing like an abrupt, short-lived burst. Where that difference is measurable, it is reported as growth authenticity.
Each point covers 3 days.
OpenSSF Scorecard 4.0 / 10
Independent, tool-agnostic security assessment from the open-source OpenSSF Scorecard. Each check rewards a security practice, not a specific vendor's tool. Checks Scorecard could not determine are marked n/a and excluded from the security score (never counted as zero).

Dependency advisories 1
Installing crates:paired@0.22.0 pulls in 57 packages, direct and transitive: 1 carry known advisories, of which 0 are direct dependencies.
| Package | Version | Relation | Severity | Advisories | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| rand | 0.7.3 | indirect | low | 2 | 0.10.1 |
An advisory means the version recorded in the dependency graph falls inside an advisory’s affected range. Reachability is not analysed, and the graph includes development and test pins — a finding may concern tooling rather than shipped software.
