Ethash
| Ethash is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining method used in the Ethereum ecosystem. It is designed to be ASIC-resistant, meaning that it cannot be efficiently mined with specialized hardware. This makes it more accessible to a wider range of people and allows for a more decentralized network. Ethash is also memory-hard, meaning that it requires a large amount of memory to be mined effectively. This makes it more resistant to attacks by botnets, which are often used to mine other cryptocurrencies. |
