# Serenity hash function / digest
#
# https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v0.7.1/specs/core/0_beacon-chain.md#hash
#
# In Phase 0 the beacon chain is deployed with SHA256 (SHA2-256).
# Note that is is different from Keccak256 (often mistakenly called SHA3-256)
# and SHA3-256.
2019-03-09 20:34:08 +00:00
#
# In Eth1.0, the default hash function is Keccak256 and SHA256 is available as a precompiled contract.
2019-03-09 20:34:08 +00:00
#
# In our code base, to enable a smooth transition
# (already did Blake2b --> Keccak256 --> SHA2-256),
# we call this function `eth2hash`, and it outputs a `Eth2Digest`. Easy to sed :)
