Notes from the build
Dispatches from Sovright on the infrastructure that preserves our right to choose — who sees your data, who controls your money, and how you exist online. It began with Zcash.
The Sovright Relay Is Live
The Sovright Relay is a public, low-latency block relay network for Zcash. Every pool learns about new blocks with the same low latency, regardless of size or budget — neutral infrastructure, run independently of any pool or miner, and open source. Live now.
Read postWhat Problem Does the Sovright Mining Pool Solve?
Mining works best when nobody has to think about it. But over time, more and more of it has concentrated into a handful of pools. The Sovright Mining Pool pushes the other way — because resilient networks draw their strength from many independent participants, not from trusting one central actor.

Choosing a pool means choosing who decides which transactions go into blocks — not just who manages payouts. Stratum V2 hands that decision back to miners, while keeping the benefits of pooled mining. Less a technical upgrade than a governance one.

Two trends are converging: Zcash block production is consolidating into a few pools, just as privacy goes mainstream. Decentralized, censorship-resistant mining has to keep pace — private money isn't credible if the layer it rests on is centralized.
Read postWhat Is the Sovright Mining Pool?
Most pools ask miners to trade control for predictable payouts. The Sovright Mining Pool is built so you don't have to choose — steady rewards while you keep control over which transactions end up in blocks. A one-minute explainer, now live on testnet.
Read postIntroducing Argos: Sovright's ZEC Recovery Tool Is Live
Argos is a free tool that restores access to ZEC stranded in the discontinued ZecWallet Lite client. Enter your seed phrase, choose a compatible wallet, and your funds are securely migrated — built on the same libraries the Zcash ecosystem already trusts, and audited by Least Authority.
Read postThree Pools Control 80% of Zcash Blocks
Private currency built on centralized infrastructure is unstable. We've built the Sovright Mining Pool to fix that — miners decide what's in each block, not pool operators. As it should be.
Read postSovright's Mining Pool Testnet Is Live
Testnet is live for the Sovright Mining Pool — a Stratum V2 pool purpose-built for individual Zcash operators, with shielded payouts and miner-controlled transaction selection. Same fees whether you connect in 30 seconds or build your own templates.
