Crypto Mining

Cryptocurrency mining is the process by which new units of digital currencies are generated and transactions are verified on a blockchain. It plays a crucial role in the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The term “mining” is metaphorical, drawing an analogy to the extraction of precious metals like gold. Instead of using pickaxes, miners employ powerful computer hardware to solve complex mathematical puzzles.
