โ›๏ธMining

Crypto mining is the process of verifying and adding transactions to a blockchain while also generating new cryptocurrency tokens. It involves solving complex mathematical puzzles using powerful computers.

How Crypto Mining Works

  1. Transaction Verification โ€“ Miners validate transactions and group them into blocks.

  2. Solving Cryptographic Puzzles โ€“ Miners compete to solve a mathematical problem (Proof of Work).

  3. Block Addition โ€“ The first miner to solve the puzzle adds the block to the blockchain.

  4. Rewards โ€“ Miners receive newly minted cryptocurrency and transaction fees as a reward.

Why Mining Is Important

  • Secures the Network โ€“ Prevents fraud and ensures transactions are legitimate.

  • Decentralization โ€“ No single entity controls the blockchain.

  • New Coin Generation โ€“ Mining introduces new coins into circulation.
