- Binance’s mining pool, its Pool Savings and Cloud Mining products and the Transaction Accelerator end at 07:00 UTC (08:00 CET) on 10 Nov, according to a Binance notice dated 13 Oct. Shares submitted after that time will not be credited.
- The pool’s most recent bitcoin block was 974,743, found at 01:15 UTC on 6 Nov, mempool.space data show. It found one block in the past week, out of 916 on the network.
Binance will disconnect miners from Binance Pool and disable its Stratum URLs and mining endpoints at 07:00 UTC on Tuesday, the exchange said in its closure notice.
Pool Savings and Cloud Mining stop earning at the cutoff, the notice says. The pool’s API, its Telegram hashrate alerts and its email notifications switch off with them.
Users who expect remaining rewards, refunds or settlements should make sure their accounts can receive them. “Please complete any necessary steps by 2026-11-10 23:59 (UTC) to facilitate timely processing,” Binance said, referring to identity verification where it applies.
Miners left before the deadline. Mempool.space credits Binance Pool with 22,213 blocks since it began mining, but only one in the seven days to 04:47 UTC on Tuesday and none in the last 24 hours. Before 6 Nov, its previous blocks came on 30 Oct and 28 Oct.
Foundry USA found 232 of the week’s 916 blocks, AntPool 177 and F2Pool 151, according to the same data.
Binance announced the closure on 13 October, citing a review of its products and services, and did not name a replacement mining product. The network the pool is leaving is larger than ever: as CryptoWatchDesk reported, bitcoin’s hashrate passed one zettahash in late October.
Binance said eligible shares submitted before the cutoff will count in the final reward calculation. Users can still open Binance Pool pages to check records and payouts for 14 days. After 07:00 UTC on 24 Nov, the exchange says, those pages go dark for good.
