Add support for Zeronet network (ipk package) with support for decentralized .bit domain zone using Namecoin cryptocurrency. There is information on the internet about how to run zeronet via python (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/issues/1106, but I haven't checked), but I want a full implementation and optimization for OpenWRT
Best get on with it then hadn't you? Once you've created and tested a suitable package you can submit it for inclusion into OpenWRT.

I have never created programmes and have no experience in it and am not interested in it. I wrote this text with the hope that OpenWrt developers will be interested in my idea and they will implement it
but someone else should be ?
there's no such thing as a free lunch.

I understand that. I just suggested an idea that can be implemented for OpenWrt, and let OpenWrt developers decide whether to implement it or not. There's a "Feature Requests" section for a reason
It appears to be pure Python, so it does not need to be built, you can just copy it to your system and run it after installing python3. There is mention of dependency on two Python libraries msgpack and gevent. The former is already an OpenWrt package python3-msgpack. If gevent is pure Python it can be readily installed at runtime with pip.
This will require significant hardware such as an x86 system or plastic router with ARM processor with at least 256/512 flash/RAM and a large external disk.
A pure Python application is always going to run under the Python interpreter. About the only "optimization" might be to write a simple init.d script to automatically start it as a service and restart it if it dies.

Zeronet (python) is too large for OpenWrt. Zeronet (python) version is full of unnecessary stuff: Changelog text file, License text file, optimisation for different archeitecture, optimisation for different operating systems Windows, Ubuntu etc., uncompressed png images, unnecessary spaces in css/html files, #comments in the code, psd (photoshop) files
what do you want to achieve?
what do you want?
Routers usually have little memory, so every kilobyte counts. In general, my goal was to try to access everything I could. Blocked sites, Tor, I2p, Yggdrasil, Opennic, Zeronet. I see the optimal variant from these lists for myself is not to use Yggdrasil Zeronet to preserve the stability of the OpenWrt firmware and to avoid memory clogging
It is not recommended to use a router
