About Foundry Zcash Pool
Everything you need to know to get started.
Why did Foundry build a Zcash pool?
We decided to build a Zcash pool because Zcash addresses something we believe is genuinely important: the idea that financial privacy is foundational to economic freedom, and that privacy and compliance can coexist. There was a clear and practical gap in the market — institutional and public miners who want exposure to Zcash have lacked a US-compliant, purpose-built pool to do it through.
What is Foundry Zcash Pool's payout method?
Foundry Zcash Pool payout methodology is PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) and is fully auditable and disclosed daily. Miners always know exactly how earnings are calculated — a critical requirement for public companies reporting mining revenue accurately.
Are shielded transactions included in blocks?
Yes. The Zcash protocol supports both transparent and shielded transactions, and our pool mines valid blocks that may contain either type. Our compliance program operates at the account level — we conduct KYC/AML screening on all pool participants and distribute mining rewards only to transparent addresses. Activity that occurs on-chain is governed solely by the Zcash protocol.
How does Foundry's compliance framework work?
Our compliance framework operates at the account level: every miner onboarded to the pool undergoes rigorous KYC/AML screening, ensuring institutional standards are met by the participants we work with — without compromising the transactional privacy that defines the Zcash network.
Is there a minimum hashrate to join?
No. There is no minimum hashrate threshold. The pool is open to institutional and professional mining operations willing to operate within our compliance framework and complete the KYC/AML onboarding process.
