This article is a Draft. Help us to complete it.
Bitcoin is based on secp256k1 elliptic curve encrypted with the ECDSA algorithm.
The PoW requires miners to find a number called a nonce, such that when the block content is hashed along with the nonce, the result is numerically smaller than the network's difficulty target.
