The magnet URL format is at least using multihash:

> Like the urn:btih: prefix for v1 SHA-1 info-hashes, there’s a new prefix, urn:btmh: for full v2 SHA0256 info hashes. For example, a magnet link thus looks like this:

> magnet:?xt=urn:btmh:<tagged-info-hash>&dn=<name>&tr=<tracker-url>

> The info-hash with the btmh prefix is the v2 info-hash in multi-hash format encoded in hexadecimal.
