-**Library too large:**
-The x64 library is intentionally large (~15MB) because it includes all secp256k1 cryptographic functions and OpenSSL for complete self-containment. The ARM64 library is smaller (~2.4MB) as it links against system OpenSSL.
+**Library size:**
+The library is small (~500KB) as it links against system libraries (secp256k1, OpenSSL, curl) rather than including them statically. This keeps the binary size manageable while maintaining full functionality.
