Ria started us off on Tuesday by adding the Cuckoo Cycle (developed by John Tromp) to our Hashing Algorithms section. Cuckoo Cycle is "memory bound", or hard to develop an ASIC for, and used today by @grinMW and @beamprivacy. 1/

This section lists numerous algos used by cryptocurrencies: BTC uses Hashcash, ETH uses Ethhash (may switch to ProgPoW), LTC uses Scrypt, XMR uses CryptoNight (may switch to RandomX) etc.
ASIC-resistant algos like Cuckoo Cycle are a hotly debated topic 2/

Next, Ehab added three new Zero Knowledge Argument Systems (two from @zkCapital's weekly newsletter, described in the linked tweets):
Sonic: a new zk-SNARK whose updatable trusted setup supports >1 circuit
AuroraLight:
Libra: 3/
Finally, to our Layer 2 Scaling section, I added @pedrorechez et al's DLSAG paper. Their proposal would enable atomic swaps, payment channels, and off-chain multi-hop payments with @monero for the first time! 4/
As always, our aim is to provide a useful resource to the crypto community. Please feel free to reach out with corrections, suggestions, or additions as you notice them! This repo is open to all contributors, the more organizations making pull requests the better it will get. 5/
Correction: Beam is using a version of Equihash, but @aeternity using Cuckoo Cycle!
