Tether, in partnership with Canaan and ACME Swisstech, has introduced a modular infrastructure for mining. This new solution allows for the assembly of systems from individual components rather than relying on pre-built devices.
The development is based on Canaan's Avalon hash boards. Tether engineers have integrated these into their own management architecture and cooling system.
The modular approach enables:
- optimization of heat dissipation and energy consumption;
- upgrading individual parts without replacing the entire device;
- scaling farms according to operational conditions.
The system is adapted for immersion cooling: according to Tether representatives, this reduces costs and enhances efficiency at large industrial sites.
Tether's CTO Paolo Ardoino noted that traditional miners remain "closed" and fixed blocks, complicating maintenance and scalability. The new concept provides direct control over power regardless of the size of the equipment fleet.
This project continues Tether's strategy to build its own infrastructure. Previously, the company released the Mining OS operating system and SDK development tools for managing mining hardware.
In April, Tether announced the launch of a non-custodial wallet, tether.wallet, which supports stablecoins USDT, USAT, and XAUT, as well as Bitcoin.
