On March 31, BTC.com announced through its official Twitter profile that it has started to mine Bitcoin Vault (BTCV) internally, in a first step towards launching a public pool on its website at a future date.
BTC.com hosts some of the most popular and trusted mining pools in the crypto industry. They run pools for all major Proof of Work-based cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash. Current pool distribution statistics show that over 10 percent of Bitcoin’s total network hash rate is channeled through BTC.com pools.
Launched in 2019, Bitcoin Vault is a cryptocurrency project focused on providing a higher security standard to its users. BTCV’s unique 3-Key Security Solution allows for transactions to be reversed within the first 24 hours of being sent to the network.
BTCV broadening horizonsThe partnership between Bitcoin Vault and BTC.com has been in the making for over six months. According to BTCV’s Chief Communications Officer, Radek Popiel, the announcement represents a significant step in opening up BTCV to a wider mining community. “This is an exciting moment for Bitcoin Vault as we are confident that the project is ready to be exposed to such a large audience,” he says.
Popiel explains that BTCV is currently in the process of a “controlled decentralization” after an intensive period of focusing on product development and security improvements. “This is a gradual process that will take some time but joining BTC.com is a significant first step towards our goals,” he adds.
We are thrilled to announce that https://t.co/38N9uRkEEb pool has deployed and started internal BTCV mining,and we will launch BTCV address entry in the near future to facilitate the miners to join rewarding activities.

Centralize to decentralizeAs part of their “controlled decentralization” plan, the partnership with BTC.com comes as a significant milestone in Bitcoin Vault’s growth, as the project seeks to return to its initial goals.
Upon launch in late 2019, the BTCV blockchain was fully decentralized. Anyone could join the network and begin mining. However, in early 2020, the chain became the target of multiple 51% attacks. This led the team to close off and centralize the network.
“We had to make a decision: to go into a “hash war” and repel the attackers or focus purely on coding to deliver what we promised to early adopters,” recalls Popiel.
He classifies the strategic decision as crucial for the future of the project. It has allowed the development team to securely deliver a fully functional product following the promised roadmap.
BTCV’s goal is to fully decentralize its network again by the end of 2024. The team plans to gradually release hash-power to various external partners to mitigate the risk of further network attacks.
