Hash Rate by Pool
Multi-line view of hash power dominance for the top 14 mining pools (frontend may multiply by global hash rate for effective per-pool hash rate).
What is it?
Multi-line decomposition (or stacked-area depending on view mode) of the daily hash power share of each of the 14 largest pools. Each line represents an individual pool, allowing direct comparison of competing trajectories. The frontend can multiply the percentages by the global network hash rate to obtain the effective hash rate per pool in exa-hash per second (EH/s).
How to read
In multi-line mode: identify leaders (high lines), growing pools (sharp positive slopes), declining pools (prolonged negative slopes). In stacked-area mode: read the global market composition and share evolution. Rapid rotations between pools often reveal operational or strategic events.
Key zones
No absolute zones - each pool has its own structural level. Structural leaders (Foundry, Antpool, F2Pool) typically oscillate between 10 and 30% each. Mid-cap pools between 3 and 10%. Niche pools (CKPool, SBI Crypto) under 5%. Any reading above 35% for a single pool warrants careful examination.
What to observe
Crossovers between pools are notable markers: when a pool takes another's place in the top 3, it often translates a structural change (acquisition, operational issue, pricing offer). Inverse correlations between pools (one rises exactly when another falls) suggest direct miner migration.
Historical context
The historic top 14 has seen many recompositions. GHash.io briefly dominated in 2014 then disappeared after the 51% threshold approach scandal. BTCC was a major actor 2014-2017 before disappearing due to the Chinese ban. Slush Pool (renamed BraiinsPool) is the oldest pool still active. Foundry USA only emerged post-2021. This dynamic illustrates that the top mining composition is never fixed.
Expert notes
Conversion to effective hash rate (EH/s) per pool requires multiplication by the global network hash rate, which varies daily. The frontend can perform this transformation at render. For strict relative dominance analysis (without scale factor), keep the percentage reading. Both views are complementary.
Common mistakes to avoid
A low line for a given pool does not mean that pool is operationally weak - it may simply serve a niche segment (solo miners, retail) with a modest total absorbed capacity. Market share does not reflect service quality nor operational resilience.
