Oman Mandates National Bitcoin Mining Pool with 10 EH/s Target

Oman has taken a significant step in its digital infrastructure strategy by launching Omanhash, a national Bitcoin mining pool. The pool is mandatory for all licensed cryptocurrency miners operating in the sultanate, with an initial target of consolidating around 10 EH/s (exahashes per second) of computing power.

The launch was made possible through cooperation between Oman's Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology and Frontier Technologies LLC, an Omani blockchain company. Enegix Global provided the technology platform and liquidity infrastructure for the pool.

This move by Oman marks a different approach to regulation compared to other jurisdictions that have responded to hashrate growth with restrictions or punitive taxation. According to Enegix's chief business development officer, Olzhas Amirov, clear licensing frameworks enable miners to operate legally and maintain transparent communication with authorities.
