Tether has announced plans to create an open-source Bitcoin mining operating system aimed at reducing dependency on third-party vendors.
Features of the New Operating System
Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the new open-source operating system (MOS) is currently in testing and is suitable for various mining setups. The system caters to both small rigs and industrial farms, ensuring scalability and adaptability to different operational conditions.
The MOS will include a peer-to-peer network with a modular IoT structure capable of supporting various cooling and electrical systems such as immersion and air cooling.
AI Integration and the Future of Mining
The platform will be integrated with Tether's AI platform, QVAC, to enable real-time performance optimization using machine learning. This will allow mining farms to monitor systems and fine-tune operations for higher efficiency.
Tether's Strategy in Blockchain Ecosystems
Tether also plans to discontinue support for several aging blockchain networks, starting from September 1, 2025. Blockchains like Algorand, EOS, and others will be frozen due to low liquidity. Moving forward, Tether will focus on active blockchains like Ethereum and Tron, laying the groundwork for future decentralized mining.
Tether's open-source mining OS signifies a major step towards transforming the current structure of Bitcoin mining. Investments in blockchain ecosystems could solidify the company's position in the future of decentralized mining.
