Tether Develops Modular Architecture for Bitcoin Miners

Tether has launched a new modular infrastructure for Bitcoin mining in collaboration with Canaan and ACME Swisstech. This innovative system allows miners to construct setups using individual components instead of relying on complete, pre-assembled units.

The design utilizes Canaan's Avalon hash boards, which Tether engineers have integrated into a proprietary management framework and cooling system.

This modular solution offers several advantages:

  • Enhanced heat dissipation and energy efficiency;
  • The ability to upgrade specific components without needing to replace the entire unit;
  • Scalability of mining farms based on specific operational needs.

Furthermore, the system is optimized for immersion cooling, which Tether claims lowers costs and boosts efficiency in large-scale industrial operations.

Paolo Ardoino, Tether's CTO, expressed that traditional mining setups are often rigid and difficult to maintain, which hinders scalability. The new modular architecture allows for improved control over power management, regardless of the fleet's size.

This initiative is part of Tether's broader strategy to establish its own infrastructure. The company previously introduced the Mining OS software and SDK tools aimed at enhancing mining hardware management.

Earlier this year, Tether also launched a non-custodial wallet, tether.wallet, which supports stablecoins such as USDT, USAT, and XAUT, in addition to Bitcoin.
