Abstract
[en] In this final degree project, we aim to explain cryptocurrency mining from the perspective of game theory. First, we will understand what cryptocurrencies are and how they came into existence. We will also explain how they operate, with a particular emphasis on the aspect of security.
Next, on a theoretical level, we will attempt to establish a direct relationship between congestion games and the competition among miners that arises from cryptocurrency mining, such as Bitcoin.
Finally, on a more practical level, we will try to determine the behavior that miners may exhibit over time. We will present strategies to maximize rewards. We will also see that adopting these strategies can pose a problem for the security of the blockchain.
