In decentralized computing, hashpower refers to the computing power used in [[Proof of Work]] consensus. This power is harnessed in a process known as [mining](/s/gyvoaostVUu8kdVRGL8W/terms-and-concepts/mining) in which competing network [[nodes]] are rewarded [[Bitcoin]]. The amount of hashpower on the network is directly correlated to the [[Difficulty]] of mining, which resets every two weeks to maintain block interval times and prevent [[Double-spending]].
