Mission

Mining & Staking in Crypto

Understand the concepts of crypto mining & staking!

Ever wonder how new crypto gets created or why your cousin keeps talking about his 'mining rig'?This Mission covers the two big ways crypto networks stay alive and secure: mining and staking. We’ll break down consensus mechanisms, without frying your brain. Learn how miners solve puzzles to earn coins, and how stakers lock up tokens to help run the network, and get rewarded for it.Even if you’re not planning to run a mining farm or stake your entire portfolio, it’s good to know what’s happening behind the scenes while you’re trading. It’s like learning how the sausage is made - only the sausage is digital money.
