[Everything in the new Whitepaper is up-to-date with the latest blockchain update (fork) and the HEX algo, our first Whitepaper was mentioning details about Keccak algo which XDNA was using initially.
In a bit I'll also post another informative announcement from the team.
They say that during such a short time of existence in the project 2 hard-forks have already been carried out. What was the reason?
The 1st fork was to change from the Keccak hashing algorithm to HEX. The team had noticed a large amount of hashrate (up to 75% of the network) from a single entity, probably an ASIC? We don't know for sure. But in any case the HEX algo is built from the team and it's a similar but superior solution of the famous x16r; You can read more about HEX in our Whitepaper, Page 19. I'll also quote the sum of it without the technical details,
The HEX algorithm possesses a number of pronounced benefits compared to the majority of existing algorithms:
- It is not a dummy algo like some popular ones, where the GPU actually spends a lot of time awaiting commands and not performing computations, which is not beneficial for the GPUs service life;
- It exhibits a stable and uniform GPU load and thus provides for better efficiency of the equipment.
- Constant and unpredictable variation of the kernels presents a pain for the adaptation of FPGAs and ASICs to it.
The details of the other fork will be listed in my next post, I want to make a clean post when I repost official announcements!

The developers are really very active and do a lot to ensure that the project is constantly being improved and developed! XDNA has a great future!
