N and its corresponding N-Factor are parameters of scrypt algorithm that determine the amount of memory required for hashing functions. Original scrypt algorithm (scrypt Salsa20/8(1024, 1, 1), PBKDF2(SHA2)) uses constant N (1024) and it can withstand older ASIC miners, but with a development of new custom ASICs for original scrypt algorithm, N-factor should be increased with time to resist more powerful and specialized computing hardware. Execoin's Scrypt-Progressive-N algorithm provides this N-factor progressive increase to ensure that any possible future ASICs development will not impact security and stability of the network and Execoin will stay rare, difficult to mine currency with a stable market value in the longer run.
