Tether has launched an operating system for bitcoin mining

Tether has announced the launch of MiningOS (MOS), an open source operating system for bitcoin mining BTC $69,820.48 Mezo Wrapped BTC -9.30% Market capitalization $39.47 million VOL. 24 hours $5.44 billion . This is the first modular and scalable platform suitable for both home enthusiasts and large institutional miners, and is designed to be a game changer in the industry.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino called MOS a «complete operating platform» that can scale from small installations to industrial sites in different regions of the world. The system is built on Holepunch peer-to-peer protocols, which allow it to work without centralized services and third-party dependencies.

The software is distributed under the Apache 2.0 open source license, which guarantees users the freedom to use, modify and distribute the code. The company emphasized that MOS is designed to break the practice of closed systems in mining: «No black boxes. No binding. No restrictions.»

Tether first announced its plans to create an open system for mining back in June 2023, emphasizing the importance of new participants' access to the market without dependence on expensive proprietary solutions. The launch of MOS was a logical continuation of this strategy.

At the same time, the company is expanding its presence in financial services: Tether has entered into a partnership with Opera, integrating USDT and XAUT tokenized gold into the MiniPay wallet. The service operates in 60 countries and has more than 12.6 million active users, providing access to digital dollar assets in regions with unstable currencies. Earlier this year, Tether also announced the launch of USAT, a federally regulated stablecoin for the US market.
