What is SHA-256? | Crypto Terms Explained

SHA-256 is the trust engine behind Bitcoin: the math that keeps blocks, addresses, and transactions tamper-proof and verifiable.

In this 30-second explainer:
• Takes any input and outputs a fixed 256-bit, 64-character hexadecimal hash.
• A one-way function: you can't reverse the hash back into the original data.
• Powers Bitcoin's Proof of Work mining, where miners race to find valid hashes.
