Description
Bitmain, a leading manufacturer of Bitcoin mining equipment, has announced the launch of its first miner designed specifically for the Kaspa cryptocurrency (KAS). It is called the Antminer KS3.
This new device achieves a hash rate of 8.3 terahashes per second (Th/s). Power efficiency is also a highlight of the KS3, with 3,188W (similar to the S19 XP Bitcoin miner). It is worth noting that Bitmain, which also makes ASIC miners for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic and Zcash, has not yet disclosed the price of the KS3 for mining Kaspa.
The launch of KS3 represents an important milestone for both Bitmain and Kaspa. Although Kaspa is a relatively new cryptocurrency, it has achieved a solid position in the industry in a very short time. Kaspa's hash rate tripled in the first quarter of 2023. Towards the end of last year, after the Ethereum merger, it became one of the most profitable cryptocurrencies to mine with graphics cards (GPUs).
