Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are entered into circulation and transactions on the network are verified and secured. It relies on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism where miners use specialized computer hardware to solve complex cryptographic puzzles. This decentralized process is a core component of the Bitcoin protocol, ensuring the integrity and chronological order of the public blockchain ledger.
