What Is BLAKE1-256?

BLAKE1-256 is a 256-bit hash function from the original BLAKE family, a SHA-3 finalist using a HAIFA construction with 14 rounds and optional salt parameter. It is rarely used today, superseded by BLAKE2 and BLAKE3.

Specifications

Output Size 256 bits
Standard BLAKE submission to NIST SHA-3 competition
Standard Year 2008

Use Cases

  • SHA-3 finalist research and comparison
  • Legacy BLAKE1 compatibility
  • Applications requiring salted BLAKE1
  • Cryptographic historical implementations
  • Academic study of hash evolution

Security Notice

BLAKE1 is rarely used and has been superseded by BLAKE2 and BLAKE3. For new applications, use BLAKE2b, BLAKE2s, or BLAKE3.

How to Generate a BLAKE1-256 hash

  1. Choose UTF-8, Hex, Base64, or File input mode.
  2. Enter text, encoded bytes, or choose a local file to process.
  3. Adjust the BLAKE1-256 options if your use case requires non-default settings.
  4. Click Generate BLAKE1-256 Hash and copy the result.

Example Input

Sample input:

abc

Use this sample input, then copy the generated hash from the result panel.

When Not to Use BLAKE1-256

  • Do not use a plain hash or derivation output directly as password storage without the right password-hashing construction and parameters.
  • For new systems, prefer BLAKE2 or BLAKE3 unless compatibility requires BLAKE1.

Recommended Alternatives
