What is scrypt In cryptography?

In cryptography, scrypt is a password-based key derivation function (KDF). Password based KDF are designed to be computationally intensive and they are efficient at preventing brute force attacks. Scrypt being both computationally intensive and memory intensive hashing algorithm it was originally used for Tarsnap’s online backup service.

Which cryptocurrency exchanges have been hacked?

Binance is one of the world's best cryptocurrency exchanges by popularity and rating #1 by trading volume and overall liquidity. The platform is now on the list of hacked exchanges due to a large-scale security breach that occurred on May 7, 2019.

Which cryptocurrency uses scrypt algorithm?

The two most prominent projects that uses scrypt algorithm are: Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE). Litecoin (LTC) launched in 2011 and Dogecoin (DOGE) in 2013. When Litecoin was launched it branded itself as an ASIC-resistant network. But that ultimately failed. Dogecoin on the other hand forked Litecoin and it was launched as a fun currency.

Is scrypt a proof-of-work (POW) hashing algorithm?

Today Scrypt is being used by a number of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. But the first cryptocurrency to implement scrypt as a PoW hashing algorithm is Tenebrix (TBX) which was released on September 2011. But that project failed and it no longer exists. Later coins like Litecoin and Dogecoin started using scrypt.
