Block announced the completion of its proprietary three-nanometer Bitcoin (BTC-USD) mining chip and is collaborating with a leading semiconductor foundry to finalize the design. Bitcoin mining rigs are specialized computers tailored for cryptocurrency mining.
These rigs are the workhorses of the crypto world, churning away complex calculations to verify transactions and secure the network. They’re not your average PCs; they’re purpose-built machines optimized for maximum efficiency and power.
Block plans to expand its mining project to include system design and aims to support mining decentralization by offering both standalone mining chips and a full mining system of its own design.
