Mining is the process of securing the transaction that goes into the blockchain. This is accomplished by miners solving a “hard problem” to prove that they are invested in the validity of the transaction. The problem they solve is difficult to find, but easy to validate.
This means that if they were to add invalid transaction to the block, other miners on the network would quickly reject this block and continue searching for the next block. To ensure this, the network requires that multiple additional blocks are created before a transaction is fully validated.
