Tether is moving away from mass-produced mining rigs and building custom modular systems in partnership with chip manufacturer Canaan and engineering firm ACME Swisstech.
At the core of these machines are specialized ASIC-based hash boards, integrated into Tether’s own control architecture, cooling system, and software stack.
The key difference from standard equipment lies in the architecture. A typical miner is a monolithic device where performance, cooling, and upgrade options are tightly linked. The modular approach separates the compute unit, power supply, and chassis, allowing each component to be replaced or reconfigured independently without swapping out the entire machine. The systems are optimized for immersion cooling, with other cooling solutions also in development.
These systems build on Tether’s earlier in-house efforts, including its open Mining OS and a set of tools known as Mining SDK. The company is steadily expanding its infrastructure, positioning itself for full vertical control over its computing stack.
