P2Pool is a decentralized, peer-to-peer mining pool for Monero written in C++. It combines the regular payouts of centralized pools with the trustlessness and control of solo mining, with no fees and no central server.

Use cases

  • mine monero without a centralized pool
  • get regular XMR payouts while keeping full control of funds
  • run a decentralized mining pool node
  • avoid pool operator fees and custodial risk
  • merge mine monero with other coins
  • set up failover across multiple monero nodes for mining

When to choose

  • you want to mine Monero with regular payouts but without trusting a pool operator
  • you already run a Monero node and want to strengthen network decentralization
  • you want zero pool fees and low minimum payouts
  • you need censorship-resistant mining with no central server to shut down

When to avoid

  • you want the simplest possible setup with only miner software
  • you mine other cryptocurrencies than Monero (or merge-mineable ones)
  • you cannot run a full Monero node alongside the pool node
  • you need a managed pool dashboard and customer support
