RandomX is a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm designed to be efficient on general-purpose CPUs. Created by the Monero community, it uses random code execution and memory-hard techniques to ensure ASICs can't gain an advantage.
Unlike SHA-256 (Bitcoin) or Ethash (Ethereum), RandomX generates random programs that the CPU must execute. This means the algorithm adapts to any CPU architecture, making specialized hardware useless.
ASICs centralize mining. When only people with expensive hardware can mine, the network becomes less decentralized. RandomX ensures anyone with a CPU can participate, keeping Monero truly decentralized.
The latest innovation is running RandomX in browsers via WebAssembly. This brings mining to billions of devices worldwide — no installation required. Your browser becomes a mining node.
