Tether is developing a new Bitcoin mining infrastructure that uses a modular computing system to control costs and efficiency.

According to official sources, Tether is expanding its custom computing infrastructure with a new type of modular, high-density mining system aimed at improving the efficiency and performance of large-scale operations. Tether is collaborating with Canaan Inc. and ACME Swisstech to build the system around application-specific hash board modules and integrate them into its proprietary control architecture, thermal management system, and software stack. This system allows for independent optimization of each component by separating computing from power and enclosure, and reduces energy consumption when combined with immersion cooling technology. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this move aims to change the current state of sealed, fixed mining equipment by deploying modular computing units that can be independently tuned, upgraded, and cooled, directly controlling the cost and efficiency of large-scale operations. Canaan Inc. Chairman and CEO Zhang Nangeng stated that its Avalon hash board modules enable more flexible, on-demand deployment, especially improving 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).
