Proof-of-Work (PoW) is a distributed consensus mechanism used in certain blockchain networks to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. It is a computationally intensive process that requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems in order to earn the right to add a new block to the blockchain. The first miner to solve the problem receives a reward in the form of cryptocurrency.
