More understanding.
More power to the miner.

We care about who gets to decide.

Decentralization matters because miners should have a meaningful say in the blocks they help build. We want to make that control easier to understand, alongside fees, payout rules and observed mining activity.

You should be able to compare pools without relying on a sales pitch or knowing the right people in a Discord channel. Our job is to explain the evidence clearly so you can make your own choice.

Curious. Fair. Willing to be corrected.

• Show our work. Distinguish chain observations, operator statements and reviewed evidence. Keep sources, dates and missing information visible.
• Ask the same questions of everyone. Large, small, public and private pools deserve consistent criteria and a chance to correct the record.
• Keep different questions separate. Transparency and decentralization are assessed separately. An active feed does not prove miner control; missing telemetry does not prove a bad pool.
• Earn trust through openness. Participation or payment must never buy a favorable assessment. Our code and assessment criteria are public.

We are still building. When the evidence is incomplete, we say so. When we get something wrong, we want to hear about it.

Our own connections belong in the open.

XBT Pulse and Soveroot share ownership. Soveroot is featured as a private mining example and is subject to the same evidence requirements as other operators. That relationship is not a reason to award it a better assessment.

XBT Pulse's role is independent evaluation. A listing is not an endorsement or a whitelist, and reporting to us does not certify a pool.

Help make mining easier to understand.

Miners bring questions. Operators bring evidence. Together, those make this resource more useful for everyone.
