See [content-addressing store objects](@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md) for more information about the process this flag controls.
- [`outputHashAlgo`]{#adv-attr-outputHashAlgo}
This specifies the hash algorithm used to digest the [file system object] data of a content-addressing derivation output.
This works in conjunction with [`outputHashMode`](#adv-attr-outputHashAlgo).
Specifying one without the other is an error (unless `outputHash` is also specified and includes its own hash algorithm as described below).
The `outputHashAlgo` attribute specifies the hash algorithm used to compute the hash.
It can currently be `"blake3"`, `"sha1"`, `"sha256"`, `"sha512"`, or `null`.
`outputHashAlgo` can only be `null` when `outputHash` follows the SRI format, because in that case the choice of hash algorithm is determined by `outputHash`.
- [`outputHash`]{#adv-attr-outputHashAlgo}; [`outputHash`]{#adv-attr-outputHashMode}
This will specify the output hash of the single output of a [fixed-output derivation].
The `outputHash` attribute must be a string containing the hash in either hexadecimal or "nix32" encoding, or following the format for integrity metadata as defined by [SRI](https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/).
The "nix32" encoding is an adaptation of base-32 encoding.
> **Note**
>
> The [`convertHash`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-convertHash) function shows how to convert between different encodings.
> The [`nix-hash` command](../command-ref/nix-hash.md) has information about obtaining the hash for some contents, as well as converting to and from encodings.
- [`__contentAddressed`]{#adv-attr-__contentAddressed}
> **Warning**
>
> This attribute is part of an [experimental feature](@docroot@/development/experimental-features.md).
>
> To use this attribute, you must enable the
> [`ca-derivations`][xp-feature-ca-derivations] experimental feature.
> For example, in [nix.conf](../command-ref/conf-file.md) you could add:
>
> ```
> extra-experimental-features = ca-derivations

This is a boolean with a default of `false`.
It determines whether the derivation is floating content-addressing.
