The difficulty adjustment mechanism is a crucial part of ensuring that the distribution of blocks remains consistent and fair across the mining network.
Before implementing the new difficulty setting, the network undergoes a verification phase to prevent attacks and errors. Once this phase concludes and consensus is achieved, the updated difficulty is applied across the network.
PoW mining is commonly assumed to be directly linked to computational heavy ASIC mining. This is not always the case which XenBlock mining is proof of. Every mining activity needs some sort of difficulty. But XenBlocks differs from Bitcoin in various areas.
