Foundry Digital, the Digital Currency Group (DCG) subsidiary behind the world's largest Bitcoin mining pool by hashrate, announced today that it will launch an institution-focused Zcash mining pool in April.
The move marks Foundry's first expansion beyond Bitcoin and targets what the company describes as a gap in the Zcash ecosystem: the absence of compliant, institutional-grade pool infrastructure capable of meeting the needs of public companies and large-scale miners.
Foundry CEO Mike Colyer framed the expansion as a natural extension of the company's mission, noting that while Zcash has grown into a serious institutional asset, its mining infrastructure has lagged behind. The new pool will be U.S.-based and built on the same compliance framework underpinning Foundry USA Pool, which holds both SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.
