Overview
- Tether released MiningOS (MOS) under the Apache 2.0 license, positioning it as a modular operating system for managing rigs from home setups to multi-site industrial farms.
- MOS runs locally and uses encrypted peer-to-peer networking to coordinate devices without centralized servers, aiming to improve privacy and resilience.
- The platform provides a single dashboard for real-time monitoring of hashrate, energy use, cooling systems, device health, and site-level infrastructure.
- CEO Paolo Ardoino announced the open-source release on Feb. 3 after an unveiling at the Plan ₿ Forum in San Salvador on Feb. 2.
- Tether is preparing a companion Mining SDK for developers and frames MOS as part of a broader Bitcoin infrastructure push following a shift away from owning mining hardware and large corporate BTC holdings reported by outlets.
