Based on [We just achieved a double speedup over the SoTA (pasta\_curves) for batched same-base MSM for Halo2 on Apple Silicon!](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/we-just-achieved-a-double-speedup-over-the-sota-pasta-curves-for-batched-same-base-msm-for-halo2-on-apple-silicon/56724) , we are formally deciding to either amend this grant, or submit a new grant.

We are going with the former.
