Seven leading bitcoin mining pools, including Antpool, F2pool, and Foundry, have joined the Stratum V2 Working Group to advance a new mining protocol that enhances miner control over transaction selection. Stratum V2 replaces the older Stratum V1 by offering improved security, privacy, and efficiency, enabling miners to build their own block templates and capture up to 7.4% higher profitability through lower latency and better fee capture. This shift marks a significant industry move toward decentralization and greater miner autonomy, with major pools now entering a deployment phase that could reshape bitcoin mining operations globally. Adoption will depend on when pools enable V2 access for individual miners, but translation proxies already ease the transition without hardware upgrades.
