⛏️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 – Miners validate transactions and group them into blocks.

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

  3. Block Addition – The first miner to solve the puzzle adds the block to the blockchain.

  4. 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.
