Seven major mining players, including Foundry, Antpool and F2pool, have joined the Stratum V2 Working Group, highlighting accelerating adoption of a protocol designed to improve miner profitability, security, privacy and control over block templates.
Seven major bitcoin mining players have joined the Stratum V2 Working Group, signaling faster industry adoption of a protocol aimed at improving miner autonomy, security, bandwidth efficiency and profitability.
The Stratum v2 Working Group announces the onboarding of ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation, and DMND. Founded in 2022 by Braiins and Spiral, the working group aims to develop and maintain the Stratum v2 protocol as an open, vendor-neutral specification. The protocol upgrades the original Stratum mining protocol with efficiency gains, privacy, security, and features that improve mining decentralization. The new members represent a significant step toward real-world interoperability and signal broad consensus in the mining ecosystem. Industry leaders from ANTPOOL and Spiderpool emphasize the protocol's value in efficiency, security, and decentralization.
The Stratum v2 Working Group announces the addition of seven major mining entities—ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation, and DMND—to advance the adoption of the Stratum v2 protocol. Founded in 2022 by Braiins and Spiral, the group aims to develop and maintain an open, vendor-neutral specification for the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. Stratum v2 offers massive efficiency gains, privacy, security, and functionality improvements over the original Stratum protocol, with features such as end-to-end encryption, miner-constructed block templates, and efficient large-fleet management. The new members represent a significant step toward industry-wide consensus and real-world interoperability.
