On March 12, it was announced that institutional-grade mining service provider Foundry Digital will launch an exclusive Zcash mining pool in April 2026, officially entering the privacy coin sector. The pool aims to provide secure, transparent, and compliant mining infrastructure for institutions and public miners, filling the current gap of professional support in the market.
The new Zcash mining pool draws on Foundry Digital’s experience operating the Foundry USA Pool™ for Bitcoin mining, utilizing mature technology and audited processes to ensure stable hash power and transparent payments. The platform will offer miners real-time reports, clear payment methods, and 24/7 technical support to ensure operational security and predictable returns for institutional users.
This mining pool complies with SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 audit standards, meeting the transparency, security, and reporting requirements of U.S. regulatory institutions. By decentralizing mining hash power, this strategy can reduce network centralization, enhance the stability of the Zcash network, and encourage broader adoption.
As a leading privacy coin, Zcash uses zero-knowledge proof technology to protect transaction privacy while ensuring blockchain validation reliability. Foundry Digital provides high-performance, scalable mining infrastructure for institutional miners, enabling participation in mining activities within a compliant environment. Transparent auditing tools and a professional operations team further boost miner trust and operational efficiency.
Industry analysts note that this move indicates a growing institutional interest in privacy-focused digital assets, with privacy coins like Zcash gradually entering specialized investment and mining markets. Foundry Digital’s expansion not only broadens its Bitcoin mining pool business but also strengthens the infrastructure of the entire decentralized finance ecosystem.
With more institutional miners joining and compliant infrastructure improving, the Zcash network is expected to achieve more stable hash power growth and promote the application and recognition of privacy coins in the global market. This pool launch marks a more mature and professional stage for privacy coin mining, offering new opportunities for investors.
