RandomX
A CPU-friendly algorithm used by Monero and others.
RandomX is a proof-of-work algorithm designed to run best on general-purpose CPUs, which helps keep mining decentralized and resistant to specialized ASICs.
It is the algorithm behind Monero and several CryptoNote coins. Pearl uses a different, GPU-based algorithm (pearlhash).
