OCEAN Pool breaks record and challenges the big players by mining 10 Bitcoin blocks in 24 hours

On July 11, 2025, OCEAN Pool reached a historic milestone by mining 10 Bitcoin blocks in a single day, something rarely seen in the mining ecosystem and sparking significant interest within the crypto community.

This achievement comes amid a significant increase in its hashrate recorded since the end of June, when miner participation began to rise significantly following a series of technical improvements and incentives implemented by the pool team. Among the tools used by miners to achieve this performance is DATUM, a system that allows miners to directly select their block templates, reducing dependence on intermediaries and reinforcing the philosophy of decentralization.

OCEAN Pool is a mining pool founded by Luke Dashjr, a veteran Bitcoin Core developer, and backed by figures such as Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter and current advocate for an open and decentralized internet.

The model used by this pool is known as PPLNS, which stands for pay-per-last-N shares. This favors miners who participate consistently and discourages opportunism. It also allows for a fairer reward system.
Furthermore, the pool employs a system called TIDES, which seeks to reduce variance in payments without the operator acting as custodian of the mined funds, increasing security and the trust of miners seeking independence.

This event not only demonstrates OCEAN's technical potential but also its growing adoption among miners seeking alternatives to traditional pools that concentrate excessive power and control over consensus decisions.

With this production rate, OCEAN positions itself as a key player in Bitcoin mining, especially at a time when decentralization and transparency are considered essential values for the protocol's long-term sustainability.
