# Mining
|
|
|
|
Handshake (HNS) is mined using a combination of the BLAKE2b and SHA3 algorithms.
|
|
|
|
**Handshake blockchain details:**
|
|
|
|
- Proof of Work (PoW) with difficulty adjustment after each block\
|
|
- BLAKE2b + SHA3 hash algorithm
|
|
- Block target time of 10 minutes
|
|
- [2,040,000,000 HNS maximum total supply](https://www.reddit.com/r/handshake/comments/j9g3y8/faq_what_is_the_coin_emission_schedule_for_hns/)

|
It is not efficient to try and mine with CPU/GPU. Instead, ASICs specifically built to mine with the above algorithm combination are the way to go.
|
|
|
|
**List of known Handshake ASIC miners:**
|
|
|
|
- [Goldshell](https://www.goldshell.com/products/#hns): HS5, HS3, HS3-SE, HS-BOX, HS1/1-Plus, etc.
|
|
- Various FPGA miners like MultMiner M1, Monad Imperium F2, Hummer Miner H1, etc. may also be able to mine efficiently
|
|
|
|
Depending on your hash power, it may also be beneficial to mine with a mining pool vs. trying to mine solo.

A wallet address will be needed to store mining rewards. This can be a deposit address generated from an entity such as Namebase, or it can be generated locally using Bob Wallet or various other wallets that support Handshake.
