I spent a little time and researched some information about Wownero. I was not able to find out exactly how the coin implements the technology that prevents the creation of pools. At the same time, I understand that you can create a pool on Wownero, but only with maximum trust in the pool participants... this is the same as in the BTCW coin.

https://wownerodocs.org/docs/mining/ : One need to specify their private key to mine. Having dug deeper into BTCW's pool resistance it seems to be more complex and afford more decentralization - requiring UTXOs to be mined. Wownero's solution seems to be more elegant and simple. I find it convenient that one can use the same private key to mine
wownero on all desktop computers of their family.
I don't understand BTCW's pool resistance very well but wouldn't requiring a significant number of UTXOs to mine create an unintended consequence of bloating the UTXO set
and creating to many dust (something to avoid when dealing with limited blockspace and thus ever raising onchain fees) ?
