The Bitcoin network has successfully mined a block using the Stratum V2 protocol for the first time. Compared to the widely used Stratum V1, Stratum V2 supports miners in independently constructing block templates and selecting transactions to include, rather than being fully determined by the mining pool. While retaining the pool's reward distribution mechanism, it reduces the pool's control over transaction packaging, helping to enhance the decentralization and censorship resistance of Bitcoin mining.

V1 has been used for so many years, the upgrade cost is not small, right? Can small mining pools keep up?

Autonomous block template construction + revenue distribution retained; the designer understands compromise.

Beneficial for decentralization, but whether mining pools will resist in disguise remains a question mark.

This wave of changes to Stratum V2 is quite critical, directly maxing out censorship resistance. In the future, it won't be as easy for mining pools to block specific transactions.

Miners can finally choose their own transactions. Is the era of mining pool monopoly coming to an end?
