Theta network protocol is a combination of Proof-of-stake mechanism and Byzantine Fault Tolerance. This means that Theta can’t be mined in the classic way like Bitcoin.\r \r Users can get Theta tokens by locking a number of existing THETA coins in a pool. All the THETA coins in a pool are used for verifying transactions, creating new blocks. Also, users who "borrow" the power of their computer for better network functioning and creating bandwidth can also get a certain number of coins.\r
