$BTC Depending on the blockchain, this process can occur in different ways:

• Proof of Work (PoW) – used by Bitcoin, involves computers competing to solve mathematical problems.

• Proof of Stake (PoS) – used by networks like Ethereum (currently), where those who "stake" coins participate in validation.

• There are also newer models, such as Proof of Authority (PoA) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS).

Each has its advantages and challenges, and understanding this can change the way you see the crypto universe! 🚀
