Cuckaroo29
A memory-bound, graph-based proof-of-work.
Cuckaroo29 is a proof-of-work from the Cuckoo Cycle family, which is graph-based and memory-bound rather than a simple hash race. It is designed to be GPU-friendly and ASIC-resistant.
It is used by some coins in the mining ecosystem, and is verified by checking the graph cycle rather than a single hash.
