Demand Pool Opens Applications to Miners for Stratum V2 Mining Pool
Bitcoin mining startup DMND is inviting miners to apply as launch partners for its Stratum V2 pool, with a 0% fee for the first two months. Applications are open until March 28, 2025.
- Demand Pool (DMND), the first Stratum V2 Bitcoin mining pool, announced that applications are now open for miners to join as launch partners. Successful applicants will enjoy a 0% fee for the first two months and a special two-year founding miner agreement.
- DMND also announced its venture capital financing from Q4 2024, led by Trammell Venture Partners (TVP).
"The Bitcoin mining industry has a key problem which I've pinpointed over my 10 year career: mining pool centralization. This is why it is paramount that we make Stratum V2 a reality. SV2 will help decentralize Bitcoin mining by allowing miners to build their own blocks. With the release of DMND pool—the world's first Stratum V2 pool—we help combat this problem - a historic moment in Bitcoin," said Alejandro de la Torre, co-founder and CEO of DMND.
- Stratum V2 protocol boosts Bitcoin's decentralization and privacy by enabling miners to creatbite block templates. DMND's Stratum V2 pool uses end-to-end encryption to prevent hashrate hijacking and features SLICE, a payment system ensuring maximum payouts with transparent transactions. Built on open-source security, DMND enhances miner profits while strengthening Bitcoin's decentralization.
"Today, the 3 largest bitcoin mining pools make up nearly 70% of total hashrate. And behind the scenes, several pools are proposing identical block templates. This is an area of concern for Bitcoin's decentralization. Stratum V2 solves this problem by empowering miners to propose their own block templates while maintaining the benefits of participating in a pool," said TVP on X.
- Sign up as Demand Pool launch partner here. Applications for launch participants will end March 28, 2025, at midnight PST.
