RandomX is a Proof Of Work algorithm developed by Monero contributors and adopted by Monero from release 0.15.
This innovative POW is optimized for CPUs and based on the execution of random code and other memory-heavy techniques. The goal is to discourage using specialized hardware (like ASICs) for mining Monero. RandomX was created to keep mining decentralized and create a more egalitarian distribution of the block rewards.
RandomX specifications and development can be found on the GitHub repository. At the same time, an article dedicated to RandomX by the Outreach workgroup contains more information about the history of RandomX and its relation with Monero.
