Giacomo Zucco Returns to OCEAN Following Luke Dashjr's Departure

The Bitcoin mining pool OCEAN announced on September 8, 2026, the return of Giacomo Zucco to its Board of Directors, following his resignation in August 2026. Zucco, an educator and investor linked to OCEAN since its inception, has over a decade of experience in the industry and has worked on technical standards such as BOLT, OpenTimestamps, RGB, and BDK. His reintegration comes during a period of reorganization for the pool, after Luke Dashjr, co-founder of OCEAN, resigned from his positions as chairman, chief technology officer, and board member due to differences regarding the future of the Bitcoin protocol in the context of the BIP-110 proposal. Following Dashjr's departure and the buyback of his shares by Mummolin, OCEAN faced a month of disruption in its payments through the Lightning network due to technical incompatibilities. The Lightning network service was restored in early September. With Zucco's return, OCEAN aims to keep Bitcoin decentralized and resistant to capture.
