Blitzpool natively supports the next-generation Stratum V2 mining protocol. Encrypted connections, binary framing, and decentralized job declaration — all auto-detected on the same ports you already use.
All communication is encrypted via the Noise Protocol framework. No separate SSL port needed — privacy is built in.
Compact binary framing replaces JSON text. Less bandwidth, lower latency, faster share submissions.
Miners can propose their own block templates — choose which transactions to include and help decentralize Bitcoin mining.
Same ports as Stratum V1. The pool auto-detects the protocol. Just point your SV2-capable miner at the pool and go.
Use the same connection details as Stratum V1. The pool automatically detects whether your miner speaks V1 or V2.
Standard connection — point your miner here:
stratum+tcp://blitzpool.yourdevice.ch:3333Some devices require the stratum2+tcp:// scheme:
stratum2+tcp://blitzpool.yourdevice.ch:3333Pool Authority Public Key — verifies that you are connecting to the correct pool:
9bCoFxTszKCuffyywH5uS5o6WcU4vsjTH2axxc7wE86y2HhvULUBraiinsOS — expects the authority key embedded directly in the URL path:
Solo mining:
stratum2+tcp://blitzpool.yourdevice.ch:3333/9bCoFxTszKCuffyywH5uS5o6WcU4vsjTH2axxc7wE86y2HhvULUPPLNS mining:
stratum2+tcp://blitzpool.yourdevice.ch:3340/9bCoFxTszKCuffyywH5uS5o6WcU4vsjTH2axxc7wE86y2HhvULUJob Declaration (JD) is the part of Stratum V2 that lets miners build their own block templates instead of taking the pool's. You choose which transactions go into the block you mine — decentralizing transaction selection and strengthening Bitcoin's censorship resistance.
On Blitzpool, Job Declaration is supported for PPLNS and Group-Solo.
Job Declaration endpoint — Port 3335:
blitzpool.yourdevice.ch:3335Run a Job Declarator Client (jd-client) that connects to the pool on port 3335 — pick whichever is easier for you:
Stratum V2 is supported by a growing number of mining devices and software.
We authored Stratum V2 client implementations for two popular open-source ASIC firmwares. NerdQAxe Plus has shipped; Bitaxe is currently under review upstream.
Stratum V2 is an open protocol developed by the community. Read the full specification and learn about the protocol design.
