Proof of Work is a consensus mechanism that requires network participants (miners) to expend computational energy solving cryptographic puzzles to validate transactions and create new blocks. It was pioneered by Bitcoin and is known for its robust security but high energy consumption. PoW ensures that altering the blockchain would require an impractical amount of computational power.
