⛏️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
Transaction Verification – Miners validate transactions and group them into blocks.
Solving Cryptographic Puzzles – Miners compete to solve a mathematical problem (Proof of Work).
Block Addition – The first miner to solve the puzzle adds the block to the blockchain.
Rewards – Miners receive newly minted cryptocurrency and transaction fees as a reward.
Why Mining Is Important
Secures the Network – Prevents fraud and ensures transactions are legitimate.
Decentralization – No single entity controls the blockchain.
New Coin Generation – Mining introduces new coins into circulation.
