DMND, a Stratum V2 mining pool, announced on August 14 that it had integrated Mempool Accelerator to add new transaction acceleration functionality for Stratum V2 miners. Under the setup, individual miners can control transaction acceleration and prioritization themselves.
The integration changes the traditional transaction accelerator model. Historically, those products were offered by mining pools rather than by the miners who actually found blocks. That meant pools usually decided which transactions to prioritize in their templates and kept the added revenue generated by accelerating them.
DMND said miners on its Stratum V2 implementation can now handle prioritization directly. When a block template containing accelerated transactions is mined, the miner who found that block receives the extra revenue tied to that acceleration.
「Our premise is simple: when miners build their own blocks through DMND’s Stratum V2 implementation, they unlock revenue streams that were never available to them before,」 DMND CEO Alejandro De La Torre said. 「Accelerated transactions are one of those streams. The pool used to prioritise them and the pool used to collect for them. On DMND the miner does both. It is a paradigm shift in how miners earn.」
DMND described the move as a first-of-its-kind transaction accelerator integration and said it opens new revenue streams for individual miners. The article also raised a broader question: if direct sharing of added accelerator revenue can be done this way, why other mining pools that own or integrate accelerator services are not using similar revenue-sharing structures.
According to the report, this design and revenue-sharing mechanism was made directly possible by Stratum V2.
Mempool Accelerator allows users to get stuck transactions confirmed by paying an out-of-band fee, which gives those transactions priority across more than 80% of the network hashrate, according to the article. Following the integration, Stratum V2 miners using Job Declaration can now earn their share of that revenue.
