Foundry

Empowering a decentralized infrastructure with digital asset mining services.

We're headed to Texas! Two days at @NABSummit, Nov 18–19, with the operators, investors, policymakers and technologists building North America's digital infrastructure.

Mining Bitcoin or Zcash and going to be there? Let us know, we'd love to catch up.

Zcash NU7 is live on mainnet. ✅

Foundry Zcash Pool switched over seamlessly, and our customers saw no interruptions to their mining.

25-second blocks, a third of the reward per block, roughly the same daily issuance.

Our annual KYC refresh is underway, and it’s a reminder for our customers and our own team of why we believe in KYC so strongly. We launched Foundry USA Pool to bring an institutional-grade mining pool to market, which meant building infrastructure our customers could defend to their boards, auditors and regulators.

Verifying every participant, every year, is a security standard we set so our customers can be confident they're mining alongside other vetted and trustworthy entities.

Happy 10th birthday, Zcash! A decade of proving that privacy isn’t a feature, it’s a foundation for sound money. Proud to help secure the network, and excited for what the next decade will bring. Follow along at https://t.co/k9YogBW0xB

Over the weekend, @tether announced broad industry backing for its Mining Development Kit (MDK). MDK is an open-source framework that gives Bitcoin mining hardware, pools, and software a common language, so developers and AI agents can work across the whole industry, ushering in a new generation of mining automation.

Foundry has built an MDK Worker for Foundry USA Pool, giving MDK users live visibility into their pool accounts. We’re proud to be part of the effort to further standardize and mature the broader mining ecosystem.

Our first Zakura nodes went into production for Foundry Zcash Pool earlier this week and are already producing 65% of the blocks we mine. The transition is well underway, with more to come! 🚀

Never great to see another pool wind down. To the miners on Binance Pool figuring out where to point your hashrate before Nov 10: if you care about a proven track record, uptime, and a US-based pool operator, Foundry supports both BTC and ZEC. Our team can help you migrate smoothly.

[Binance @binance]

As part of our ongoing review of products and services, Binance will discontinue Binance Pool and related services on 2026-11-10 at 07:00 UTC.

This includes Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, Transaction Accelerator, and related features.

Today we announced that @colyermike is stepping down as CEO of Foundry after 7 years. Mike built Foundry from 1 employee into the operator of the world's largest Bitcoin mining pool. He will remain with Foundry for six months as a strategic advisor to support the transition.

Zcash NU7 is now live on testnet, ahead of a targeted Nov. 5 mainnet activation.

What changes for miners:

✔️ Blocks every 25 seconds instead of 75
✔️ Per-block rewards fall to a third to offset the faster block time, so daily ZEC issuance is unchanged
✔️ Miners keep 40% of transaction fees. The other 60% goes to a reserve that funds future block rewards

There's nothing for miners on Foundry Zcash Pool to change or reconfigure. We're currently testing Zakura so that our customers are running on the best possible infrastructure when this activates on mainnet.

If you're mining ZEC and looking for a pool built for institutional miners, reach out to our team to learn more. 🔗 https://t.co/SHz3b5K8LU

Little known fact, zcashinfo is the only website I know of that shows how accelerated the zcash testnet is!

Testnet zcash is about to hit the third halvening

https://t.co/k9YogBWyn9 is now running Zakura! 🌸 The site has moved over to the new Zcash node implementation. Learn more at https://t.co/3zJX3qpfHL

Let's go! See you in Nashville.

It's shaping up to be a very special 2 days in Nashville.

Zcash hashrate has been climbing steadily since the spring, and over the weekend it set another all-time high. See the full picture at https://t.co/k9YogBWyn9 📈

[Foundry @FoundryServices]

https://t.co/k9YogBW0xB saw more than 2M visits last week. With price and hashrate both climbing, is attention to $ZEC picking up? 👀

[Foundry @FoundryServices]

📢 Update: https://t.co/3lp0Emih7H now supports testnet!

Developers and miners can monitor testnet blocks, hashrate distribution, and network difficulty in the same explorer they use for mainnet data, making it easier to test configurations and validate setups before deploying to production.

We welcome your feedback. If you encounter any issues or have functionality you'd like to see added, please ⁠let our team know as we continue to improve the platform.
