# Requirements for Synchronizers

Mining pools that have successfully mined blocks in the last 432 Bitcoin blocks (approximately 72 hours) are eligible to become Synchronizers and submit BTC data to exSat.&#x20;

Mining pools must include a specific OP\_RETURN output in the coinbase transaction of each Bitcoin block they mine. This output serves to identify the block as being mined by the pool. For detailed instructions on how to register as Synchronizer, please refer [here](/guides-of-data-consensus/others/operation-references/synchronizer-operations/synchronizer-registration.md).
