dart_randomx

Dart wrapper for RandomX proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm.

Usage

A simple usage example:

import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'package:dart_randomx/dart_randomx.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  await RandomX.loadLib();

  var randomX = RandomX();

  print(randomX);

  var key = Uint8List.fromList([97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 0]);
  randomX.init(key);

  var data = Uint8List.fromList([65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 0]);

  var hash = randomX.hash(data);
  print(hash);

  randomX.destroy();
}

RandomX Full Memory

The RandomX algorithm has 2 modes:

  • slow: uses less memory but is slower.
  • fast: faster (about 10x) but uses 2G+ of memory.

To activate the fast mode just initialize it passing fullMemory as true:

Future<void> main() async {
  await RandomX.loadLib();
  
  var randomX = RandomX();
  randomX.init(key, fullMemory: true);
}

Project Build

See the script build-ffi-lib.sh to build the libraries:

  • randomx: the RandomX PoW algorithm.
  • wrapper_randomx: dart:ffi wrapper of lib randomx.

The directory wrapper_randomx_library has the source code for the
dart:ffi wrapper and the build scripts:

  • build-librandomx.sh:

    Will clone the RandomX project, build it and place the library file
    librandomx.a at wrapper_randomx_library/ to then build the wrapper.

  • build-wrapper.sh:

    Builds the wrapper, linking with librandomx.a.

NOTE: This process was tested on MaxOS and Ubuntu.

RandomX Project

The RandomX proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm can be found at:

NOTE: The script build-librandomx.sh automatically clones and builds it.

RandomX Configuration

The RandomX project recommends a different configuration for each coin,
defined by the file RandomX/src/configuration.h. See the configuration documentation:

The default configuration for this project is the same of Monero:

  • wrapper_randomx_library/configuration-monero.h

NOTE: RandomX was originally developed for Monero.*
