Yes! Scala’s Proof of Work algorithm provides resistance against specialized hardware and GPUs, which allows smaller miners to be profitable.
This algorithm is able to run on any CPU regardless of architecture, but it performs exceptionally well on ARM (mobile) processors in comparison to Intel/AMD, keeping power efficiency as a factor.
Scala developed their own customized temperature calculation algorithm (AMAYC) that uses novel Machine Learning functions to keep phones mining in safe temperatures, and even implements a static temperature control layer to protect the device from overheating.
Scala’s [Android Miner](https://mobileminer.scalaproject.io/) is the reference for real mobile mining, and has been forked numerous times by other cryptocurrency projects.
