I support adoption.  At the Ethereum Foundation, Sigma protocols present a first well established step towards for our long term needs to scale to more transactions securely.   

For us it would be desirable if the method of generating challenges is compatible with multi-round protocols, as it will be helpful for our longer term scaling as well as transitioning our core protocol to post-quantum cryptographic solutions.

Thanks!
