In 2025, the easiest cryptocurrencies to mine are those that:
1. Do not require expensive equipment (e.g., ASIC)
2. Use algorithms friendly to GPU or CPU
3. Have low network difficulty
4. Operate on low power consumption or can be mined in the cloud / on mobile

🥇 The easiest cryptocurrencies to mine currently:
1. Monero (XMR) – CPU mining
Algorithm: RandomX (ideal for CPU)
Hardware: laptop/PC with a strong processor
Advantages: high privacy, large community
Mining solo or through popular pools (e.g., MineXMR, 2Miners)
2. Dogecoin (DOGE) – mined together with Litecoin
Algorithm: Scrypt (like Litecoin)
Possibility of merge mining with LTC (mine both at the same time)
Hardware: GPU or cheap Scrypt ASICs (e.g., L3+)
High liquidity and acceptance
3. Ravencoin (RVN) – GPU mining
Algorithm: KAWPOW (GPU friendly)
Advantages: decentralization, easy settings
Hardware: graphics card (e.g., RTX 3060 and above)
4. Kaspa (KAS) – extremely efficient GPU mining
Algorithm: kHeavyHash
Advantages: very low power consumption on graphics cards
Hardware: GPU (even older models), very fast blocks
Often cited as the most efficient GPU coin of 2025
5. Vertcoin (VTC) – "friendly to people"
Algorithm: Verthash
Hardware: regular graphics card (e.g., GTX 1660, RX 580)
Advantages: ASIC resistant, easy to set up miners

🔍 Other interesting options:
Name Algorithm Hardware Notes
Electroneum (ETN) CPU/GPU even on the phone mobile app (cloud mining)
CPUchain (CPU) SHA3 (CPU) exclusively CPU ultra-light, low difficulty
Iron Fish GPU new project, anonymity increasing difficulty
Nexa GPU (NexaPoW) good on multiple GPUs currently low difficulty

📱 If you want something very simple (even on a phone):
Pi Network – trust-based mining (app, not classic mining)
Eagle Network, Bee Network – similar to Pi (early stages, low requirements)

✅ Summary
🔧 The easiest technically to mine at home:
Monero (XMR) – CPU
Kaspa (KAS) – GPU
Vertcoin (VTC) – GPU
Dogecoin (DOGE) – with Litecoin (merge mining)
📱 The easiest "symbolically", without equipment:
Pi Network, Electroneum – but have limited real value
