About Mining Pool Index
An independent, continuously refreshed index of cryptocurrency mining pools: 102 operators and 444 pool × coin feeds across 65 coins.
Where the numbers come from
Every figure on the site carries its provenance. There are three kinds:
- Reported: read from the pool's own public statistics API (hashrate, miners, workers, fee, effort, blocks). We recognise the common pool software (miningcore, yiimp, NOMP, open-ethereum-pool, cryptonote, ckpool, public-pool…) and a set of custom APIs.
- Chain-derived: for coins whose blocks can be attributed to a pool on-chain (Bitcoin via mempool.space, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and Dash via Blockchair), the pool's share of blocks over the last 24 h and 7 days multiplied by the network hashrate gives an implied hashrate. It is the only figure available for pools that publish nothing.
- Measured: a read-only stratum connection (subscribe only, no shares submitted) gives latency, the current block height, the coinbase tag and the block value the pool is working on.
Refresh cadence
Pool APIs, stratum probes and network figures are collected every 3 minutes. Block attribution runs every 15 minutes. Prices and markets come from CoinGecko. Pages refresh live in the browser; changed values flash briefly.
What we do not do
- We never submit shares, create accounts or log in to a pool.
- We do not copy data from other aggregators; every value is fetched from the source named on the page.
- Figures reported by a pool are shown as reported. When a reported hashrate exceeds the network hashrate, the share is capped and the value flagged.
Listing a pool
Operators can submit a pool. Submissions are checked automatically (website, API, stratum, plausibility against the network) and go live within minutes when the checks pass; the rest is reviewed by a human.
Data access
The JSON API is reserved for the group's applications. Machine-readable summaries for assistants are published at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt.

Nothing on this site is investment advice. Mining profitability depends on your hardware, power cost and the pool's actual payouts.
