# Mining
Following from the [PoW](Proof-of-Work) idea comes the idea of "mining". On a blockchain a number of nodes will compete over the right to be recognized as the (temporary) leader of the blockchain. In the case of the Gajumaru the type of puzzle is called a "cuckoo cycle" where a very large map of nodes is generated in a deterministic way from a seed number, a cycle of a determined size must be found within that map, and then the various miners race each other to find a suitably large cycle within that map. Other blockchains usually use some form of
numerical hashing (trying to find a sufficiently small hash of a given input value added to a nonce), but the principle is the same.
