OKEx Pool is preparing to launch its innovative Mining Switching Pool, currently undergoing beta testing with selected clients. According to BTC.com data, OKEx Pool ranks seventh globally among mining pools. 2024 has seen rapid growth among exchange-affiliated mining pools, with Binance launching new pool services and Huobi Pool aggressively expanding market share. Meanwhile, OKEx Pool maintains steady growth, with more strategic moves expected following the Switching Pool release.
What Makes Mining Switching Pools Different?
Unlike traditional mining pools that focus on single cryptocurrencies, Switching Pools dynamically mine the most profitable coin among multiple cryptocurrencies sharing the same algorithm. This decision is based on real-time factors like mining difficulty and market price.
Key features of OKEx Pool's Switching Pool:
- Supports SHA256 algorithm coins (BTC/BCH/BSV)
- Automatic conversion between supported cryptocurrencies
- Final payouts settled in BTC
- Optimized for maximum mining profitability
Technical Considerations for Switching Pools
