Uptime Mining is a method used by some blockchain networks to reward participants based on their system availability. Unlike traditional mining, where participants solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions, uptime mining emphasizes the reliability and uptime of nodes.In this setup, users run a node and maintain connectivity to the network. They are rewarded for keeping their node online and operational, contributing to the network’s overall stability and efficiency. The more consistently a node is available and functioning, the greater the potential rewards.This approach encourages decentralized participation while reducing the environmental impact often associated with energy-intensive mining processes. By focusing on uptime rather than computational power, it promotes a more accessible entry point for those interested in supporting blockchain networks without needing specialized hardware.
