A subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, Foundry aims to make Zcash mining more accessible to institutional investors and large-scale mining companies. The new pool is expected to help professionalize Zcash mining operations and contribute to a more balanced distribution of the network\u2019s hash power.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/mining-giant-sets-up-a-pool-for-this-altcoin\/#Foundry_to_Launch_New_Mining_Pool_for_Zcash\" title=\"Foundry to Launch New Mining Pool for Zcash\">Foundry to Launch New Mining Pool for Zcash<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/mining-giant-sets-up-a-pool-for-this-altcoin\/#Key_Features_of_the_New_Pool\" title=\"Key Features of the New Pool\">Key Features of the New Pool<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/mining-giant-sets-up-a-pool-for-this-altcoin\/#Foundry_CEO_on_Zcash\" title=\"Foundry CEO on Zcash\">Foundry CEO on Zcash<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/mining-giant-sets-up-a-pool-for-this-altcoin\/#Analysis\" title=\"Analysis\">Analysis<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foundry_to_Launch_New_Mining_Pool_for_Zcash\"><\/span>Foundry to Launch New Mining Pool for Zcash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the announcement, Foundry plans to launch a new Zcash mining pool in April 2026. The pool is specifically designed for institutional investors and publicly traded companies, facilitating large-scale mining operations on the Zcash network. One of the main objectives is to strengthen the mining infrastructure and reduce hash power concentration, helping the network achieve a more balanced, secure, and decentralized structure. Foundry also plans to leverage its operational experience from Bitcoin mining to encourage a broader miner community to join Zcash.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Features_of_the_New_Pool\"><\/span>Key Features of the New Pool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The pool will be tailored to meet institutional operational needs, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Compliance and regulatory features<\/li>\n<li>Corporate reporting tools<\/li>\n<li>US-based operational structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This infrastructure aims to enable regulated financial institutions to participate in Zcash mining in a transparent and compliant manner, increasing the number of institutional miners and supporting the network\u2019s security with stronger infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foundry_CEO_on_Zcash\"><\/span>Foundry CEO on Zcash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Foundry CEO Mike Colyer emphasized that while Zcash is becoming a mature digital asset at the institutional level, its existing mining infrastructure has not kept pace with this growth.

With our new pool, we will bring the compliance, transparency, and operational standards we developed in Bitcoin mining to the Zcash ecosystem.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The initiative is intended to create a stronger, more decentralized mining infrastructure while encouraging institutional participation in the network.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Analysis\"><\/span>Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Foundry\u2019s plan to launch a Zcash mining pool signals growing institutional interest in privacy-focused crypto projects.
