OCEAN Earns SOC 2 Type 1 Attestation, Validating Commitment to Enterprise-Grade Security and Reliability.
This achievement validates OCEAN's robust internal controls and provides institutional miners and hosting partners with trusted, third-party verification of the pool's operational integrity. The SOC 2 framework is a widely recognized benchmark for managing customer data, confirming that a company's systems are designed to protect against unauthorized access and ensure reliability.

Block 913272 was found yesterday by a small miner: @nprofile…vqfq revealed that it was him, using a QAxe++, a @nprofile…d6j2 and DATUM on OCEAN.
Seeing miners of all sizes have their voices heard by mining their own blocks and seeing decentralization happen in real time is why we do this.
Keep hashing, have a great weekend and congratulations, pleb miner. 🫡

Happy Labor Day.
Many Americans have the day off today, but OCEAN keeps working hard finding 4 blocks so far.
About 90% of our miners use DATUM. Let’s make it 100% 🚀
Reach out to mining@ocean.xyz and we’ll help show you how.

One of the most exciting things happening in Bitcoin is seeing plebs drive the decentralization movement forward. Skot and Bitaxe are playing a major role in this grassroots effort.
OCEAN’s Mark Artymko connected with Skot at Mining Disrupt to dive into a key (and often overlooked) piece of decentralization: block template construction. https://video.nostr.build/1af1721d637741d4fdc7399ae2c95313ee34fb3fe1474d9a18198df43741e071.mp4

Transparency is essential to running the most profitable Bitcoin mining operation you can, and only one pool affords you the transparency required to do this: OCEAN.

𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗔𝗡: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆-𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗹
OCEAN stands alone as the only pool built from the ground up for total transparency—instantly accessible the moment you connect. Point your miners to OCEAN, and you’re met with a clear view of everything we do: no hidden fees, no murky calculations, just real-time insights at your fingertips. From block construction to fees and payouts, you can see it all and easily confirm your rewards match your contributions.
This openness drives profitability for you and innovation for the ecosystem.
For your business, it’s a game-changer. For the first time, miners can track payout performance and hashrate down to the proof of work level, and boost their earnings potential with unparalleled clarity and optionality. The data from our miners shows that this level of transparency and freedom can mean substantially more monthly mining revenue.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.
Transparency into everything surrounding how pools calculate payouts is the only way to ensure maximum profits for miners. Every share, every reward, every payout should be completely verifiable with zero guesswork. Eliminating any and all “fuzzy math”—intentional or otherwise––and ensuring miners like you can independently verify their earnings, no blind trust required.
But, does any pool provide this level of transparency?

𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Without transparency, miners can’t verify they’re being paid fairly for their hashrate contribution. Take FPPS (Full Pay Per Share) pools, for example. Many assume that contributing 10% of the pool’s hashpower means they’ll get 10% of the block rewards, minus a simple 2% fee (or whatever the pool advertises). Sounds straightforward, right?
Wrong. In reality, miners often earn far less than expected. Why? FPPS pools need massive reserves to guarantee daily payouts, especially during stretches of bad luck. To build and maintain these reserves, pools introduce hidden fees, murky spreads, “lost” shares, and opaque calculations. Meaning miners are left guessing the true value of their accepted shares and often left earning much less than they’d expect.
So, how do you fix this?

other pools require accounts, and fundamenatlly they pay people, not addresses.
ocean pays addresses. doesn't matter who or what is actually mining to them.

Taking a moment to celebrate OCEAN's 100th block milestone. OCEAN has seen a spectacular boost in hash these past few months.
And we're just getting started.
