#TradersLeague Crypto mining is the process of verifying and adding new transactions to a blockchain. Miners use powerful computers to solve complex computational puzzles. The first miner to solve the puzzle earns the right to add a new block of transactions to the blockchain and is rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency, plus transaction fees. This process is energy-intensive and requires significant hardware investment. Mining secures the network and ensures the integrity of transactions, but its environmental impact and profitability are frequently debated.
