The initial pull request introducing the syscall along with a subsequent fix have both been merged successfully:

• added alt_bn syscalls #27961
• remove unwraps in alt_bn128 syscall #28955

Currently, there remains an outstanding pull request:

• Add alt_bn128 syscall tests (and fix related issues) #31436

It aims to enable and fix the pre-existing SBF test, incorporate the C SBF test, and fix the C API.

@Lichtso, I would appreciate you review!

Originally, feature inclusion was projected for version 1.15 (as per this discussion). However, as I understand it, this was delayed to version 1.16, following the deprecation of 1.15.

This feature activation carries significant importance to various teams across the ecosystem, including Light Protocol, Neon Labs, Squads and others. Many are depending on this syscall for their mainnet launch.

We earnestly request prioritization of this feature activation and would deeply appreciate a review of the remaining pull request. Thank you!

@vadorovsky - your previous comment is now resolved correct?

@mvines Yes, I see that my last PR made it to 1.16 branch. Thank you!
