OCEAN is a Cheyenne, Wyoming-based software development company operating as a Bitcoin mining pool that leads the transition toward decentralization and censorship-resistance. Unlike traditional pools, OCEAN is fully non-custodial, with miners paid directly by the Bitcoin network rather than the pool operator. The pool publishes block templates before solving them, providing full transparency so miners can review the block contents in advance and withdraw hashrate if they disagree with the proposed transactions or template. This differs from other pools that only reveal block details after (or when/if) the block is irreversibly solved. OCEAN uses a Transparent Index of Distinct Extended Shares (TIDES) reward system, allowing miners to independently verify that their rewards are accurate and fair—any dishonesty by the pool would be immediately provable, even before blocks are solved. The company is committed to true decentralization, miner sovereignty, and network integrity. As of December 31, 2025, OCEAN is active with ongoing mining pool operations, transparent template publishing, and TIDES reward distribution.
