OFFICIAL DOC

BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function that is:

  • Much faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, and BLAKE2.
  • Secure, unlike MD5 and SHA-1. And secure against length extension, unlike SHA-2.
  • Highly parallelizable across any number of threads and SIMD lanes, because it's a Merkle tree on the inside.
  • Capable of verified streaming and incremental updates, again because it's a Merkle tree.
  • A PRF, MAC, KDF, and XOF, as well as a regular hash.
  • One algorithm with no variants, which is fast on x86-64 and also on smaller architectures.

BLAKE3 was designed by:

  • @oconnor663 (Jack O'Connor)
  • @sneves (Samuel Neves)
  • @veorq (Jean-Philippe Aumasson)
  • @zookozcash (Zooko)

The development of BLAKE3 was sponsored by the Electric Coin Company.

AT THE SAME TIME THANKS TO RUST MERGED portable_simd

which means it could run on any platform that LLVM has SIMD implementation.
