Lesson Overview
1.11 – Proof of Work Explained in Simple Terms: Proof of Work requires participants, called miners, to solve complex puzzles before adding a new block to the chain. The difficulty of these puzzles makes fraud expensive and unprofitable. Miners compete using computing power, and the first to succeed earns a reward in cryptocurrency. This system deters manipulation because altering old data would require redoing massive amounts of work. While energy-intensive, Proof of Work has proven extremely secure since Bitcoin’s creation. It demonstrates how computational effort can create digital trust among millions of unconnected users.
