Forging

Forging is the process of creating or minting new blocks in blockchain protocols that use the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. When a new block is created, there is the possibility of receiving a reward from the fees associated with each transaction in the block. After the transactions have been validated and the block has been signed, the block is forged. Different PoS networks have different requirements for participating in the validation and forging process.
