Connect a rig
Non-custodial mining on the Bitcoin BLAKE2b chain with DATUM. Your address is your account: nothing to sign up for, nothing held by the pool.
Build your own blocks (full DATUM)
You choose the transactions. Run your own node and DATUM gateway; the pool only coordinates payout — your template, not ours.

We pay every miner from the coinbase, minus 1%. Step-by-step setup guide →
1% fee — you build your own block template.
Pooled mining (shared payouts)
The pool builds the block template; every miner is paid straight from the block's coinbase, TIDES-style and non-custodial. For full decentralization, run your own node and build your own blocks. Backup only: set it as pool 2 in your rigs, behind your own gateway.

Payouts land straight in this address from the block's coinbase, and only the holder of the keys controls them. Need one? Set up a wallet.

2% fee — the pool builds the template here.
How you get paid
Every block the pool finds pays the recent miners together, straight from that block's coinbase, by each one's share of the work (TIDES-style). No balances, nothing to withdraw — if the pool vanished, nothing of yours would go with it. Fee is 1% if you build your own templates, 2% on the pooled endpoint; freshly mined coins are locked for about 45 days (the notice at the top has the current rule).
Mine with your own bc1 address as the username; add a .worker suffix per machine.
