Oman Launches State-Supervised Bitcoin Mining Pool

Oman has launched Omanhash, its national Bitcoin mining pool for licensed crypto mining companies operating in the country. The move aims to consolidate around 10 EH/s of computing power in its first phase, with Enegix providing the technology and liquidity infrastructure.

The pool was introduced under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and will serve as the only official pool for licensed mining firms. This means that licensed miners are expected to connect to the pool rather than routing their hashrate through outside providers.

Omanhash is a joint effort between Enegix Global and Frontier Technologies LLC, an Omani blockchain and Web3 company. According to Enegix Chief Business Development Officer Olzhas Amirov, 'This is our second sovereign mandate.' He added that clear licensing rules help miners operate legally and keep communication open with authorities.
