Foundry Digital, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure, is set to launch a U.S.-based Zcash (ZEC) mining pool in April 2026. This marks Foundry's first major expansion beyond Bitcoin, aiming to deliver institutional-grade, compliant mining infrastructure to the Zcash ecosystem. The new pool will feature compliance checks, robust reporting, SOC 1 & 2 certifications, and operational controls tailored for large enterprises and publicly traded companies. Foundry's initiative targets institutional miners seeking transparent, secure, and U.S.-domiciled mining operations, adhering to strict regulatory standards, including KYC and AML procedures. Leveraging its experience as the operator of the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pool, Foundry plans to introduce professional standards and enhanced transparency to Zcash mining. This move comes amid renewed interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, with Zcash experiencing increased value and institutional demand for privacy-oriented digital assets.
