Foundry launches institutional Zcash mining pool, already commands 30% of network hashrate

Foundry Digital, operator of the world's largest Bitcoin mining pool, officially launched its institutional-grade Zcash pool today with multiple miners already onboarded, capturing roughly 30% of Zcash's total hashrate since the March announcement. Alongside the pool, Foundry unveiled Zcashinfo.com, a dedicated Zcash block explorer with real-time network and mining data. The pool runs a PPLNS payout model with KYC/AML checks and transparent reward distribution — targeting the compliance gap that's kept institutions away from ZEC mining. ZEC itself is up 73% over the past month, trading around $354 after rallying from ~$50 to ~$700 in late 2025.
