jeffro256 posts May 2025 Monero/Carrot dev update

jeffro2561 has posted a second progress report (M2/May 2025)2 for their Monero/Carrot3 dev work CCS proposal4:

The FCMP++ optimization competition original deadline ended June 30th. We received 1 submission for elliptic curve divisors and 2 submissions for Helios-Selene. We then decided to extend the Helios-Selene deadline to July 10th and received 4 new submissions at that deadline. @j-berman and I have been reviewing the submissions for both and are currently working on publishing a decision soon.

Work overview
