- Once a transaction in Bitcoin is done, it should stack the blocks; this process is called Transaction Verification. In this block, people conduct trades with one another by using these secure hash messages and the miners solve those cryptographic puzzles verifying that the transactions are legitimate, stopping double-spending at the same time.
- Building a New Block: After solving the puzzle some new block is added to the Bitcoin blockchain. Each and every Bitcoin transaction that ever connects is documented in an open ledger.
- Block Reward: When miners solve the puzzle and add a block to the blockchain, they are rewarded with new bitcoins. This whole process is what we call proof of work. This amount is currently 6.25 BTC per block, cut in half over time thanks to halving; an event that happens around every four years (TradingView)(Binance).
