GridPool is an experimental decentralized reward-sharing protocol for sovereign Bitcoin miners. It reduces solo-mining payout variance without a custodial pool wallet, centralized share ledger, or separate sharechain.
Reviewers and contributors should start here:
- GridPool Handbook: architecture, protocol context, decisions, evidence boundaries, roadmap, and agent guide.
- GridPool Reference Node: C#/.NET implementation, DATUM server, API, UI, peer networking, tests, and deployment tools.
- GridPool Protocol Documents: V2.2 whitepapers and future interoperability vectors.
- GridPool Simulations: reproducible models, generated evidence, and research reports.
- GridPool Website: public overview and miner connection guidance.
Mining integrations are deliberately modular. Current public-beta work includes native Stratum V2 and CKPool/AtlasPool adapters; the GridPool reference node remains the consensus validator.
GridPool is public beta software and an active research project. Specification intent, deployed behavior, simulations, and field observations are labeled separately in the handbook.
