DMND and RootstockLabs Partner To Bring Stratum V2 To Merge-mining

Bitcoin Magazine
DMND and RootstockLabs are integrating Stratum V2 to allow miners to independently manage merge-mining for the Rootstock sidechain.

Summary

DMND and RootstockLabs have partnered to integrate Stratum V2, enabling Bitcoin miners to perform their own block template construction for merge-mining the Rootstock (RSK) sidechain. This development allows miners to select and include merge-mined block commitments directly, ensuring they receive rewards in rBTC without relying on intermediary pool custody. By delegating more control to individual miners, the initiative aims to further the decentralization of the Bitcoin mining ecosystem.
