Mining
Mining is the process of validating transactions and creating new blocks on a blockchain network. In cryptocurrency, mining involves solving complex mathematical equations and cryptography puzzles to verify transactions, add them to the blockchain, and earn rewards in the form of newly minted cryptocurrency. The process is resource-intensive, requiring specialized hardware and software. As more miners join the network, the difficulty of mining increases, making it more challenging to earn rewards.
