Glossary/Mining

Mining

The process of validating and adding new transactions to a blockchain's ledger, often requiring significant computational power.

In proof-of-work networks like Bitcoin, miners compete to solve a puzzle; the winner proposes the next block and earns a reward. Proof-of-stake networks replace mining with validators who lock up collateral instead.
