ViaBTC marks 10 years with $100K ‘Proof of Decade’ campaign

ViaBTC Group launched a 10th-anniversary campaign called ‘Proof of Decade’ and will open a $100,000 prize pool on June 2, 2026. The campaign includes community events in key markets worldwide.

ViaBTC was founded in May 2016 and began operating its mining pool on June 5, 2016. The company reports it serves about 2 million users in more than 150 countries and regions.

ViaBTC says its Bitcoin mining pool has run continuously for the past decade without service downtime and that it maintains one of the industry’s lowest orphan block rates, which reduces invalid block losses and helps protect miners’ earnings.

The ViaBTC Pool ranks among the largest Bitcoin mining pools by hashrate and holds the top global positions in LTC/DOGE merged mining, ZEC mining and BCH mining. The pool supports more than ten proof-of-work cryptocurrencies.

The group’s wider ecosystem includes the CoinEx exchange, CoinEx Wallet and ViaBTC Capital. These services provide trading, custody and asset management to users in over 200 countries and regions and connect mining operations with trading and storage products.

Haipo Yang, founder and CEO of ViaBTC Group, commented: “For ViaBTC, trust is established through consistent delivery, transparent earnings, fair settlements and stable systems. As we enter our next decade, we will uphold that commitment across our ecosystem and continue building infrastructure for the blockchain industry.”

During 2026 ViaBTC plans to run a series of anniversary initiatives for users and partners, including the June 2 prize campaign and local celebrations in selected markets.
