I’ve recently been doing some research into different altcoins and the algorithms they use. In particular, I find myself intrigued by the Keccak algorithm due to its uniqueness and high level of security. Various coins use different algorithms for mining and transaction verification, and I am trying to learn who uses the Keccak algorithm specifically.
My limited understanding is that the Keccak algorithm is a hash function that was the winning entry in the NIST hash function competition. It was designed to have very high levels of security and to be able to function well on a wide variety of hardware. The creators believed that the Keccak algorithm would be particularly effective for use in blockchain technology, which requires robust security and scalability. So, I am curious about whether any altcoins have adopted this hash function.
Does anyone in the community have information about altcoins that use the Keccak algorithm? Any insights you could share on how they implemented it, or what advantages they might be seeing from using this algorithm? I’m especially interested to know if there are significant differences in mining or transaction processing times between coins that use the Keccak algorithm and other coins. I appreciate any information you can provide.
