A nonce is an arbitrary value used only once in blockchain technology, primarily used in the Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining process. Miners verify block validity and receive mining rewards by continuously adjusting the nonce value and performing hash calculations until a hash value that meets the network's difficulty requirement is found. The nonce occupies 4 bytes in the block header, allowing for approximately 4.3 billion possible values to be tested.
