Proof-of-activity
Proof-of-activity is a hybrid consensus method combining proof of work and proof of stake to secure blockchain networks.

Proof-of-work is a blockchain consensus system where miners solve cryptographic puzzles to validate transactions and secure the network.
Hash rate measures the total computing power used to secure a proof-of-work blockchain and process transactions.
A block reward is the cryptocurrency incentive earned for creating or validating a new block on a blockchain network.
A consensus mechanism is the process blockchains use to validate transactions and agree on a shared, secure ledger.
Mining is the process of validating blockchain transactions and creating new coins using computational power on proof-of-work networks.
Bitcoin introduced a new model for moving and storing value online without banks or central issuers. For beginners, it remains the clearest starting point for understanding how the digital asset market was built.
