At IOVlabs, we are dedicated to enhancing the Rootstock community’s understanding of network security. Starting today, we want to empower the community with transparent mining key insights through Rootstock monthly hashrate reports.
By presenting easy-to-understand information using tables and graphs, we aim to provide a clear picture of the Bitcoin mining industry’s involvement in Rootstock through merged mining. Among other key metrics, the hashrate reports will include monthly network total hashrate and mining pool hashrate distribution on the Rootstock network. Although this information can be extracted from the publicly available Bitcoin and Rootstock ledgers, it is sometimes hard to collect.
