OCEAN Mining Pool Launches With a Decentralization-Focused Model

OCEAN launched as a Bitcoin mining pool built around a decentralization-focused philosophy and a new payout approach. Jack Dorsey led a seed round for the company behind the pool, and the launch was announced at the Future of Bitcoin Mining conference.

The mining connection was direct Bitcoin mining infrastructure. The consequence was economic and infrastructural—where hashpower could be hosted, financed, or paid—not a change to Bitcoin's consensus rules.

The Bitcoin connection ran through bitcoin mining infrastructure. New mining pool explicitly organized around decentralization and payout/policy changes.
