Summary

Foundry Digital said it plans to launch a U.S.-based Zcash mining pool in April 2026, expanding beyond Bitcoin and targeting institutional and public company miners. According to the company, the pool will use Foundry USA Pool infrastructure and is designed for regulated miners seeking compliant mining services. Foundry had previously said the pool would include know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering checks, transparent payout calculations, reporting tools, U.S.-based operations, and a dedicated support team. Mining rewards are expected to be distributed through transparent Zcash addresses rather than shielded ones, and the pool is set to use a Pay Per Last N Shares payout model.
