Foundry plans Zcash mining pool amid institutional interest in privacy coin
The digital asset infrastructure company plans to launch the pool in April as it expands beyond Bitcoin mining services.
Digital asset infrastructure company Foundry Digital plans to launch a mining pool for Zcash in April 2026, expanding beyond Bitcoin mining infrastructure. The company said the pool will be designed for institutional and publicly traded miners seeking compliance-focused mining services.
The new pool will be based in the United States and built on the same infrastructure used by Foundry USA Pool, which is operated by the company. Foundry said the service will include reporting tools and payout systems intended to meet the operational requirements of institutional miners.
Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency which features an encrypted ledger using zero-knowledge proofs. A mining pool is a service that allows multiple miners to combine computing power and share block rewards, increasing the chances of earning consistent payouts.
