Seven major Bitcoin mining pools have joined the Stratum V2 working group to develop an open communication standard between pool operators and miners, according to Hashrate Index data. AntPool, Block Inc., F2Pool, Foundry, MARA Foundation, SpiderPool, and DMND are participating in the effort. Foundry and AntPool are the two largest pools by hashrate, controlling approximately 30% and 17.7% of global mining pool hashrate respectively.
