Tether Develops New Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure, Using Modular Computing Systems to Control Costs and Efficiency
: According to official sources, Tether is expanding its custom computing infrastructure through a new type of modular, high-density mining system aimed at improving the efficiency and performance of large-scale operations. In collaboration with Canaan Inc. and ACME Swisstech, Tether is building systems around specific application-specific hashboard modules and integrating them into its self-developed control architecture, thermal management systems, and software stack.This system, by separating computing from power supplies and enclosures, allows individual components to be independently optimized and reduces energy consumption when combined with immersion cooling technology. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this move aims to change the status quo of sealed, fixed-form mining equipment by deploying modular computing units that can be independently tuned, upgraded, and cooled, thereby directly controlling the cost and efficiency of large-scale operations. Zhang Nangeng, Chairman and CEO of Canaan Inc., indicated that its Avalon hashboard modules enable more flexible on-demand deployment, particularly enhancing efficiency and reducing operational complexity in immersion cooling systems. This deployment builds upon Tether's previously developed open-source mining operating system (MOS) and mining software development kit (SDK).
