Understanding Blockchain Mining

Blockchain mining is a fundamental process that serves several critical functions in cryptocurrency networks:

🔗

Transaction Validation

Miners verify the legitimacy of cryptocurrency transactions, preventing double-spending and fraud.

⛏️

Block Creation

Miners compile verified transactions into blocks that are added to the blockchain.

💰

Coin Generation

New coins are created as rewards for miners who successfully add blocks to the chain.

🛡️

Network Security

The mining process secures the network against attacks through decentralization.

How Mining Works

  1. Transactions are broadcast to the network
  2. Miners collect these transactions into a candidate block
  3. Miners compete to solve a complex cryptographic puzzle (Proof-of-Work)
  4. The first miner to solve the puzzle gets to add the block to the blockchain
  5. The miner receives a block reward (newly minted coins + transaction fees)
