The first block of a cryptocurrency's blockchain, known as the "genesis block," is typically created manually by the cryptocurrency's creator or developers. It serves as the basics(building blocks) for the entire blockchain. This block contains no previous transactions or references, making it unique. Subsequent blocks are added through a decentralized process called mining, where nodes solve difficult mathematical puzzles to validate and record transactions, further building the blockchain.
