Scrypt is a password-based key derivation function that was originally designed to be computationally intensive in order to make it more resistant to hardware brute-force attacks. It was introduced by Colin Percival in 2009 and is commonly used in cryptocurrency mining and various cryptographic applications. The main features of Scrypt include: 1. **Memory Hardness**: Scrypt is designed to use a significant amount of memory in addition to CPU resources.
