OCEAN

DATUM isn’t just a protocol, it’s running in production, finding blocks, reducing bandwidth requirements for remote mining operations, and decentralizing Bitcoin mining.

Questions about DATUM or OCEAN?

Don’t hesitate to reach out. 💪🌊🏄

Docker and FreeBSD means DATUM is even faster to setup and configure, on whatever platforms you choose. Decentralizing the network just got easier.

High-availability proxy support makes DATUM even better at helping miners scale efficiently, maintain maximum uptime and improve monitoring/security.

Auto PoW Splitting allows mining operations with DATUM and multi-wallet setups (revenue sharing, treasury, operations, etc.) to seamlessly receive reward payouts direct from the blockchain to multiple wallet addresses.

Set-it-and-forget-it payment splits straight from the Blockchain.

To all of our future miners: what are you waiting for?

DATUM is ready when you are. 💪

Decentralization is happening.
Bitcoin is becoming censorship resistant again.
The future is starting to look bright again.

To all of our miners who helped make this possible: Thank you.

We’re humbled by your support and trust.

This means block template construction is making its way back into the hands of the miners, which is not only the most profitable for miners on OCEAN but also one of the best things for Bitcoin.

100 DATUM BLOCKS

🚀 DATUM Hits 100 Blocks 🌊

Miners all over the world are letting the industry know that decentralization matters.

In less than a year, OCEAN’s DATUM Mining Protocol has spread like wildfire. 📈 Over 65% of OCEAN’s miners are using DATUM, and that number is growing every day.

Tether to Deploy Hashrate on OCEAN, Advancing Decentralized Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure - Tether.io 14 April 2025 – Tether, the largest company in the digital assets industry, announced today its intention to deploy both existing and future hashrate on OCEAN, a leading Bitcoin mining pool focused on...

“Deploying hashrate to OCEAN aligns with both our mining investments and our broader mission to fortify Bitcoin against centralizing forces.” Paolo Ardoino

One of the most exciting things happening in Bitcoin is seeing plebs drive the decentralization movement forward. Skot and Bitaxe are playing a major role in this grassroots effort.

OCEAN’s Mark Artymko connected with Skot at Mining Disrupt.

Thwarting 51% attacks and keeping Bitcoin's hard cap of 21 million rely on decentralization and the network remaining trustless.

@lukedashjr.bsky.social breaks down the dangers of centralization and the truth about 51% attacks in his sit down with Nico of Simply Bitcoin at Mining Disrupt.

Transparency is essential to running the most profitable Bitcoin mining operation you can, and only one pool affords you the transparency required to do this: OCEAN.

The data from our miners shows that this level of transparency and freedom can mean substantially more monthly mining revenue.
