# Main Page

Decentralizing the Stacks network through mining is one of the top 3 existential priorities for Stacks. Stacks 2.1 unlocks mining pools and having an easy-to-use GUI/automated/smart contract that ensured mining pool operators do not have control over mining and the pool generates reasonable returns will help Stacks expand from its current avg miner count to thousands of participating miners via the pool.
