What Is Bitcoin Halving

Bitcoin halving is an event that reduces the rewards that miners receive for validating and adding new transactions to the blockchain by half and it occurs approximately every four years in the Bitcoin blockchain. This mechanism is designed to control the issuance of new bitcoins, limit the supply, and maintain Bitcoin's scarcity and value over time.

Mining Difficulty & Hashrate Mining difficulty is a measure of how much computing power it is required to mine new blocks in a blockchain network. It adjusts regularly to maintain a consistent rate of block production. When more miners join the network, the difficulty increases; when miners leave, it decreases.
