64-bit OS in the making?

I found that the Moto E4 is a 64-bit phone running a 32-bit environment, is there a way to change an already-built LineageOS source to take full advantage of it or do I have to build one from start to finish to incorporate the 64-bit capability of its Cortex-A53? I'm asking because I know it'd make the phone run much smoother, and for far longer without dying, and allow for much further exploration of how powerful it is.

You need all new device trees (for 64) also kernel, vendor, and finally the ROM. Also a 64 bit TWRP to flash it. Much work is needed. @squid2 is working on such things. Maybe check his GitHub for new changes

There are plenty of devices with the same SOC that currently have the same question in mind. None have been developed thus far.

if you have genuine concern and knowledge in the area you should contribute to the development of these devices, or the common trees for that chipset
