The Stratum v2 Working Group is pleased to announce that ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation, and DMND have joined forces with the working group to further the implementation of the Stratum v2 protocol.
Established in 2022 by Braiins and Spiral, the working group’s mission is to develop and maintain the Stratum v2 protocol as an open and universally accessible specification for the Bitcoin mining industry. This protocol represents an advancement over the initial Stratum mining protocol, offering significant improvements in efficiency, privacy, security, and functionality, all contributing to enhanced mining decentralization.
The inclusion of these new members, all prominent entities within the mining sector, marks a substantial stride for the working group in ensuring seamless operation and compatibility across large-scale, real-world mining operations. It further underscores a growing consensus within the mining community that Stratum v2 is the definitive path forward.
“We are honored to endorse the widespread adoption of Stratum V2. Unifying around an open and interoperable standard empowers the industry to collaborate more effectively and drive enhancements in efficiency, security, and decentralization,” stated Andy Zhou, CEO of ANTPOOL.
Stratum v2 introduces capabilities for more effective management of extensive miner fleets, features end-to-end encryption, and enables individual miners to generate their own block templates in conjunction with supporting pools, among other advantages.
Kenway Wang, CTO of Spiderpool, commented: “Decentralization is fundamental to our objectives. Stratum V2 champions this by facilitating miner-generated templates, while simultaneously boosting efficiency, particularly for miners operating in environments with limited bandwidth.”
