Decentralized Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) mining pool OCEAN, a subsidiary of Mummolin Inc., has raised $6.2 million in a seed funding round led by Jack Dorsey. 
According to a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jack-dorsey-leads-seed-round-in-support-of-oceans-mission-to-decentralize-bitcoin-mining-globally---announces-launch-at-future-of-bitcoin-mining-conference-301999073.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">press release</a> on Nov. 28, 2023 the round was also led by other investors such as Accomplice, Barefoot Bitcoin Fund, MoonKite, NewLayer Capital and the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund. 
As per Mummolin Co-Founder Luke Dashjr, Ocean represents a new type of pool that enables miners “to be truly miners again.”

According to Jack Dorsey, the startup is aimed at solving a problem of Bitcoin mining pools’ centralization, which poses risks of plaguing the whole network. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “OCEAN is solving a problem for Bitcoiners that I think all of us feel — further centralization of pools and mining pools that could plague Bitcoin, and how that risks a bunch of Bitcoin attributes that we hold dear.” 
 Jack Dorsey 
</blockquote> 
OCEAN is said to launch new phases of Bitcoin decentralization features in 2024. In the meantime, Bitcoin mining companies are doubling down on their efforts to expand resources ahead of the upcoming halving in 2024, which will reduce miners’ reward from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC.
