Short answer: There is no single best Zephyr pool — it depends on what you trade off. Mining Scan tracks 26 pools that list Zephyr (ZEPH). Their published fees run from 0% to 2.1%. For zero published fee: c3pool.com (PPLNS), hashvault.pro (PPLNS, SOLO), miners-pool.com (PPLNS) — but a 0% fee is one column of four, not a verdict. For the largest pool-reported block counters: zephyr.herominers.com (0.9%, SOLO, PROP, 426,919 blocks reported by the pool), zeph.2miners.com (1%, PPLNS, 21,654 blocks reported by the pool), solo-zeph.2miners.com (1.5%, SOLO, 12,634 blocks reported by the pool) — numbers the pools themselves report, not our verification. Pick by the pool's block record and payout scheme first, fee second.
We do not rank by reputation or by what a pool claims about itself. Each row is what our scanner observed: the fee the pool publishes, its payout scheme, the block counter the pool itself reports, and the miners it reports online. These are the pools' own counters, not our check against the chain: some pool software also counts pending and orphaned blocks in them. A dash means we could not read the value — it never means zero. A published fee above 10% is shown as unverified instead of being quoted as a fact. Exchanges are excluded: they are not pools. If a value is wrong, see corrections and tell us.
Pools whose own block counter our scanner could read, largest first. These are the pools' own counters, not our check against the chain: some pool software also counts pending and orphaned blocks in them. The table is rebuilt from the database on every request.

A dash means the pool does not publish that field — it never means zero.
PPLNS (pay-per-last-N-shares) pays out when the pool finds a block, split by each miner's part of the last N shares — your income follows the pool's luck. PPS (pay-per-share) pays for each share whether or not the pool finds a block — the pool operator carries that risk; PPS+ and FPPS also pass on transaction fees. PROP (proportional) splits each found block by the shares of that round. SOLO gives the entire block reward to the miner who finds the block.
Of the 26 Zephyr pools we track, 11 list PPLNS, 2 list PPS, PPS+ or FPPS, 15 list SOLO, 11 list PROP (a pool can offer several schemes).
Venue-confirmed routes, each with the age of our check, are listed at mining-scan.com/sell/zeph.
0% and 2.1% are the extremes of the published fees among the 26 Zephyr pools we track; the rest sit between them.
Yes — 4 of the 26 Zephyr pools we track publish a 0% fee, including c3pool.com, hashvault.pro, miners-pool.com. Check the block record and payout scheme before trusting a fee alone.
On our scan: zephyr.herominers.com (426,919 blocks reported by the pool), zeph.2miners.com (21,654 blocks reported by the pool), solo-zeph.2miners.com (12,634 blocks reported by the pool). These are the pools' own counters, not our check against the chain: some pool software also counts pending and orphaned blocks in them. Pools without a readable counter are not ranked here.
18 of the 26 Zephyr pools we track expose no block counter we could read in the last 48 hours. Mining Scan leaves the field blank rather than guessing; a blank is not evidence the pool is dead — check its miner count and hashrate movement.
Venue-confirmed routes — checked by us at the venue, each with the age of the check — are listed at mining-scan.com/sell/zeph.
