From paper: > Our goal is to propose numbers of rounds for which we have strong confidence that the algorithm will never be wounded They take algorithms, past 10 years of public crypto research and shave off rounds, until it just about starts falling apart. AFAIU having security-reducing attacks is the target. I prefer to have ample confidence in my crypto algorithms. Would not recommend BLAKE3 (without those extra rounds).
