Overview
- DMND’s pool produced block number 955,318 for GoMining using Stratum V2’s Job Declaration, with GoMining supplying the declared block template.
- Job Declaration lets a miner build and submit its own block template while the pool validates the work, giving the miner control over which transactions are included.
- GoMining used the declared template to include transactions from its GoBTC Pay instant payments protocol, demonstrating how miner-run products can be embedded in blocks.
- The approach keeps pooled-mining economics such as revenue smoothing while moving transaction-selection power from pools to individual miners, which could reduce centralized influence and censorship risk.
- This result is a production proof of concept for Stratum V2 on DMND but wider adoption will require miners, pools, and infrastructure providers to update software and workflows at scale.
