I heard that Bitcoin uses a certain mechanism called proof of work for its mining process. But I'm not sure if it's still the case. Can anyone confirm if BTC is still using proof of work? Is BTC still proof of work?

An intriguing aspect of Bitcoin's mining process is the halving event. Every four years, the reward for successfully mining a block of Bitcoin is reduced by half.

As of now, miners are rewarded with 3.125 BTC for each block they mine. This decreasing reward highlights the finite nature of Bitcoin.
