‘Information is power. January 11, 2013. Computing is power. April 24, 2018. ‘. These two sentences is written in the Genesis block. The text is short but significant, let the mysteries be interpreted by time.

AI-Friendly POW Algorithm

Bytom Team creatively proposed a new algorithm called Tensority. Tensority is a consensus algorithm based on tensor calculation. By introducing Tensority algorithm, Bytom has learned the advantages of the previous BTC, LTC, and ETH algorithms, and improved based on their strengths, making the workload calculation more universal and friendly to ASICs. Meanwhile devices can engage in artificial intelligence cloud computing acceleration services, reducing hardware waste and making computing more socially valuable.

Paper of Tensority algorithm has been released in MIT on April 15th. Check the details with following link:
