Mining and Incentive Models

Mining, in the context of blockchain, is the process of validating new transactions and adding them to the blockchain. This is achieved by solving complex computational problems. Incentive models are the mechanisms used to reward miners for their efforts in maintaining the network's security and validating transactions. These rewards typically come in the form of newly created cryptocurrency and transaction fees.
