Rawpool

Rawpool (rawpool.com)

Rawpool is a Bitcoin-focused proof-of-work mining pool and related mining-services brand operating via rawpool.com, active since 2018. (minerstat.com)

What it is (in “miner–validator” terms)

In Bitcoin’s PoW system, miners are the entities that validate transactions by assembling and hashing blocks; a mining pool coordinates many miners into a single block-production entity. In that sense, Rawpool is best described as a pool operator that aggregates hashrate for block production (“validation” via PoW) rather than a proof-of-stake “validator.” (minerstat.com)
