Most modern computers include a graphics processing unit. The GPU works with the CPU (central processing unit) to process and display images, video, and video games as quickly as possible. GPUs can process information up to 800 times faster than the CPU, making them ideal for cryptomining.
Though the process is much more complicated, mining breaks information into blocks which the GPUs verify for accuracy. These blocks of information form the blockchain. Chains can be used to store everything from food distribution paths, legal contracts, business transactions, and more. Any information can be stored on the transparent ledgers within the blocks. Once the block of information is committed, the information is then replicated across the network, making it permanently stored for anyone to see.
