To earn this reward, miners compete to solve a difficult mathematical problem based on a cryptographic hash algorithm. The +new block (called the _subsidy_), and transaction fees from all the transactions included in solution to the problem, called the Proof-of-Work, is included in the new block and acts as proof that the miner expended significant computing effort. The competition to solve the Proof-of-Work algorithm
