  • Write a description
W3C SRI is a spec for subresource[1] integrity, where the link that fetches resource contains the hash of the resource, like this.

<script src="https://example.com/v1/include.js"
    integrity="sha384-MBO5IDfYaE6c6Aao94oZrIOiC6CGiSN2n4QUbHNPhzk5Xhm0djZLQqTpL0HzTUxk">
</script>

This allows to validate that the content of the fetched file is valid.

Currently, the spec requires[2] browsers to support the SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. This proposal is to add BLAKE2 as a faster[3] and more collision[4] resistant alternative with shorter BLAKE2s 128 bit hashes.

The addition to browsers will ensure that browser based DApps will benefit from the native support of BLAKE2 hashing. Shorter hash will also require less space for content addressing indexes.

Definitely not the best piece of art, but better than nothing. I hope nobody will trade it as an NFT as a shame on my head.

And it is awaiting the review - https://gitcoin.co/grants/3451/add-blake2-into-w3c-sri-spec

(I messed up the Twitter handle, and there seems to be no way to edit this info - gitcoinco/web#8876)
