wtdbg2 is long-read based assembler that is 2 to 17 times faster than some published tools (as of 2020) that performed the same task. The algorithm basically follows the overlap-layout-consensus method but advanced it with a fast all-versus-all read alignment process. It also uses fuzzy-Bruijn graph.
