# Mining Zano

Zano uses ProgPoWZ for its mining algorithm, it's ASIC-resistant which means that it can only be mined using graphics cards.

The best way to support and further decentralize the network is to solo-mine it, we have prepared a [guide](https://docs.zano.org/docs/mine/solo-mining-guide) to help you get started.
