Canaan (CAN:NAS), a leading provider of supercomputing solutions, announced that it will be supplying 11,760 units of its next-generation A1246 ASIC AvalonMiners to US-listed Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (WIZP:OTCQB).
Throughout 2021, Canaan’s ASIC bitcoin miners will be shipped and installed across Mawson’s mining facilities, adding an additional 1.05EH to the existing bitcoin mining operations.
“In recent months, institutional and retail investors alike have expressed renewed interest in the potential of digital assets. Though many mining businesses have struggled to accommodate the resulting demand, Canaan has been able to consistently deliver on its promise of supporting our global partners. Backed by our robust supply chain model, we are excited to be partnering with Mawson in their next phase of growth as they ramp up their mining activities,” said Nangeng Zhang, CEO and Chairman of Canaan.
The A1246, Canaan’s latest AvalonMiner model, is a SHA256 mining rig, originally launched in Q3 2020. The A1246 produces a stable hashrate of 90TH/s with a power efficiency of 38J/TH, making it one of the fastest ASIC miners on the market today.
