How to mine PKT
The PKT Network is powered by miners who run PacketCrypt, the world’s first and only bandwidth-hard, proof of work, mining algorithm. PacketCrypt economically incentivizes miners to collaborate, operate and grow the fully decentralized PKT Network. Mining has never been easier. Get started today.
Why Mine PKT?
Mining is the backbone of the PKT Network
Mining requires bandwidth and CPU power, which encrypts the network and establishes its high speed data infrastructure. When PKT Lightning Network launches, its near-infinite transactions per second and near-instantaneous settlement will make PKT one of the highest throughput blockchains in the world.

How to Mine PacketCrypt?
Bandwidth + CPU
PacketCrypt can be easily mined from any CPU powered device. PKT mining pools are community powered and require significant bandwidth resources. Miners and PKT mining pools are incentivized to collaborate, which decentralizes the network infrastructure and propagates the network.
