Blockchain
A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records transactions in blocks, links those blocks together, and makes the record difficult to alter.
Mining
Mining is the process used by proof-of-work blockchains in which specialised computers perform computational work to compete for the right to add new blocks. Bitcoin is the most prominent example.
