OCEAN was co-founded by Luke Dashjr as Chairman and CTO and Ian Northon as Chief Legal Officer, and operates under Mummolin, Inc. and Bitcoin Ocean, LLC. It previously served as the successor to the Eligius Bitcoin mining pool. The project raised $6.2 million in seed funding, announced by Mummolin, Inc. in November 2023, with backers including Jack Dorsey, Accomplice, Barefoot Bitcoin Fund, MoonKite, NewLayer Capital, and Bitcoin Opportunity Fund.
OCEAN distinguishes itself through two core technical features: DATUM (Decentralized Alternative Templates for Universal Mining), which allows individual miners to construct their own block templates rather than relying on the pool, and TIDES (Transparent Index of Distinct Extended Shares), a reward distribution system designed for transparency. In December 2023, OCEAN announced a Path to Decentralization rollout giving miners a choice of block template policies. Mummolin, Inc. has also announced that OCEAN earned a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, validating its security and reliability standards.
OCEAN has published 540 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 171 accounts, with 498 total mentions.
