Mining Pools
Business Description
NeoPool is a Bitcoin-only mining pool incorporated in the Seychelles, publicly launched in 2024 after a development cycle that began in 2021 and a beta phase in which the first commercial miners tested the infrastructure.
The pool runs on a Full Pay-Per-Share (FPPS) payout model, delivering automated daily settlements with a minimum threshold of 0.001 BTC. In November 2025, NeoPool reported 169 BTC in miner payouts (approximately $15 million at prevailing prices), its highest monthly distribution since launch, according to a press release carried by Bitcoin Magazine. Live homepage data places pool hashrate at roughly 16.95 EH/s against a Bitcoin network hashrate of approximately 956 EH/s, putting NeoPool within the global top 15 Bitcoin mining pools by contributed hashrate. More than 70,000 active ASIC devices connect to the pool on a regular basis.
Three proprietary layers distinguish NeoPool from commodity pool software. Custom block-signing templates govern how candidate blocks are assembled; the team says this improves block-finding efficiency. Share difficulty is calibrated per ASIC model rather than set at a uniform threshold: the pool describes this as reducing wasted computation on hardware with lower share submission rates. A fast-routing layer connects each miner to the nearest available Bitcoin full node, cutting stale shares caused by propagation latency.
For operators managing large fleets or acting as hashrate aggregators, NeoPool offers a REST API with data-export functions, a multi-level referral program with individually negotiated commission structures, and 24/7 account management. The pool's website is published in Russian, reflecting a primary user base across the CIS region, though its aggregator-facing tooling and customizable API are built for broader deployment. A companion iOS app on the Apple App Store delivers real-time dashboard access on mobile.
NeoPool's growth drew institutional attention in late 2025, when Interhash, a professional mining services company, announced a controlling stake acquisition at the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference. Interhash CEO Alexander Lozben described mining pools as undervalued Bitcoin infrastructure assets; financial terms were not disclosed. NeoPool won Mining Pool of the Year at the Blockchain Life Awards 2026, held at the 16th edition of the Blockchain Forum, after finishing as a finalist for Mining Company of the Year at Blockchain Life 2025 in Dubai. Independent analytics platform MiningPoolStats ranks NeoPool first globally in Daily PPS efficiency. The Interhash acquisition positions NeoPool for expanded international scaling through 2026.
