Scrypt is a password-based key derivation function that was originally designed to be computationally intensive and memory-hard, making it more resistant to brute-force attacks compared to other algorithms such as SHA-256. The algorithm was first used as the proof-of-work in the cryptocurrency Litecoin and later in several other altcoins. It is also used in some password storage systems to prevent hackers from using massive amounts of computing power to guess passwords by cracking hashes. The algorithm was first used as the proof-of-work in the cryptocurrency Litecoin, and later in several other altcoins. It is also used in some password storage systems to prevent hackers from using massive amounts of computing power to guess passwords by cracking hashes. Scrypt requires a larger amount of memory compared to other algorithms, which makes it more difficult to implement on specialized hardware (ASICs) specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining.

The most important brands are Bitmain, Goldshell and Innosilicon.
