Some new projects news blockchain technologies allow you to participate in altcoin mining. During this process, users provide the network with computing power and electricity so that the project uses these resources to process transactions. In return, they receive a certain amount of the project's digital assets. This scheme was implemented back in Bitcoin, and many new projects have adopted it. Today, mining altcoins is considered a rather expensive and ineffective way to earn cryptocurrencies. Instead, preference is given to staking — blocking tokens in a smart contract for a reward. However, mining is still available, and many are still doing it.
