How Bitcoin Works

Click through a simplified Bitcoin network and watch a transaction become a mined block, earn rewards, and gain confirmations.

Step 1 of 10

A peer-to-peer network starts with nodes

Bitcoin is not one central server. Many independent nodes keep a copy of the rules and share valid transactions and blocks.

Bitcoin mining explained in simple steps

This demo is educational and simplified. Real Bitcoin blocks contain thousands of transactions, follow consensus rules, and are found by miners competing globally through proof of work.

Nodes verify transactions and blocks against Bitcoin rules.
Miners collect transactions, build candidate blocks, and search for a valid hash.
Each new block points to the previous block, creating a chain of history.
Block rewards started at 50 BTC and halve roughly every 210,000 blocks.
More blocks after a transaction create more confirmations.
