OCEAN Launches DATUM Protocol to Restore Bitcoin Mining Decentralization

OCEAN has launched DATUM, a decentralized mining protocol that empowers miners to reclaim control over block template construction, ensuring the Bitcoin network remains secure, decentralized, and resistant to centralization threats such as financial censorship. This marks a significant step towards preserving Bitcoin's original principles and creating a secure, sustainable, and decentralized mining ecosystem.

The launch of DATUM is a pivotal moment for the Bitcoin mining community, ensuring the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network, safeguarding its future. With large pools now controlling more than 50% of Bitcoin’s hash rate, the network faces a serious centralization risk. This raises the possibility of transaction censorship, weakening the very foundation of Bitcoin. DATUM provides a solution by decentralizing block construction, helping to prevent 51% attacks and ensuring Bitcoin remains a free and open system.
