Vitalik Buterin has urged researchers to participate in the ongoing Poseidon cryptanalysis program.

He also stated that the ETH blockchain could consider adopting the Poseidon hash function to improve the platform’s efficiency.

Poseidon is an algebraic hash function optimized for cryptographic computations designed for zk-proof tech like SNARKs and STARKs.

Some critics have rejected the proposal citing its slower performance and reliance on specific prime fields.
