Miner-side template construction whilst still pooling rewards is the holy grail of practical approaches to decentralizing mining. Asking everyone to go lotto-mine is not realistic, and pools naturally centralize (due to how much better they work at scale - limiting Bitcoin to < 40 or so pools realistically).

So it's about designing a pool in such a way as it doesn't really have much influence over anything which is the goal of OCEAN. If we were to turn rogue it should have minimal impact on the network and everything we're doing works towards diminishing our role.

Can go into more detail if needed, your question seems like you just wanted me to keep it broad-stroke level so I'll stop there.
