Foundry Digital, the operator of Foundry USA Pool, launched Foundry Zcash Pool. Even before the launch, mining customers had already been onboarded, showing eagerness. With the initial launch date on March 11, the hashrate surged to 30% of the current Zcash network hashrate. Pros and cons of Foundry Zcash Pool As part of the plan, the Foundry Zcash Pool will be operated from the U.S. to minimize compliance and counterparty risk for regulated institutional and public miners. The pool will also provide 'transparent and auditable payouts' to miners. However, this move could undermine the decentralized ethos in mining. It also raises questions about potential long-term regulatory compliance. Hence, a deeper analysis suggests this move is a double-edged sword. Miner revenue, hashprice and hashrate analysis paint a concerning picture This timing is crucial because miners' daily revenue dropped from $45 million at the start of 2026 to the $28–$35 million range at press time. The hashrate showed highly volatile spikes and stood at 1.2 Exahash per second (EH/s), suggesting miners were earning less despite increased competition. Zcashinfo.com also makes the spotlight Foundry announced the launch of Zcashinfo.com, a new block explorer built for the Zcash community. It provides miners with a one-stop shop for real-time pool rankings, hashrate distribution, block data, network difficulty trends, and more. Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox said, 'I’m happy that Foundry is bringing their institutional credibility and long-term commitment to Zcash.' $ZEC price action ZEC was trading at $376.11 at the time of publishing, up 4.38% in the past 24 hours. The price action follows ZEC's struggle to break past the $250 resistance level since late February. With the bullish move at the time of reporting, odds of ZEC reaching $400 looked high. Final Summary - The launch comes when miner profitability is down by 30%. - Zcashinfo.com provides access to all on-chain data in one place, simplifying tasks for miners out there.
