The integration between DMND and RootstockLabs allows miners to earn BTC mining rewards directly.
DMND and RootstockLabs have integrated their functions to allow miners to earn BTC rewards directly from their mining efforts.
The process will see users construct their own Bitcoin block templates on DMND, choose the Rootstock merged-mining commitment, and receive rBTC rewards directly to their own address.
Previously, miners contributed to hashrates in mining pools, and rewards were collected as merge-mining rewards.
With the Rootstock-native rBTC pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin, miners also gain access to a reward tied to a growing Bitcoin-native DeFi ecosystem. This supposedly incentivises miners to earn in that asset, unlocking new growth across Bitcoin layers.
As a Bitcoin sidechain, Rootstock is secured by a majority of Bitcoin’s hash power and its growing ecosystem of decentralised applications.
Alejandro De La Torre, CEO and Co-Founder of DMND, said: “The miner controls the merge mining and the miner gets paid for the merge mining. More delegation of control to miners is our key support for further decentralisation of the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
Adrian Eidelman, Co-Founder of RootstockLabs, said: “DMND’s implementation of Stratum V2 is an important evolution in mining infrastructure that expands what’s possible for miners and brings us one step closer to making Bitcoin work for everyone.”
