[Bitcoin Network Successfully Mines Block Using Stratum V2 Protocol for the First Time] According to Documenting Bitcoin, the Bitcoin network has successfully mined a block using the Stratum V2 protocol for the first time. Compared to the widely used Stratum V1, Stratum V2 allows miners to independently construct block templates and select transactions to include, rather than leaving the decision entirely to mining pools. While retaining the mining pool's revenue distribution mechanism, it reduces the pool's control over transaction packaging, contributing to enhanced decentralization and censorship resistance in Bitcoin mining.
