Tether introduced Mining OS, an open-source, hardware-agnostic system to monitor and automate Bitcoin mining at any scale.
-
MOS uses a peer-to-peer, modular design to manage hashrate, energy use, and device health across sites without central control.
-
The Mining SDK gives developers tools and APIs to build custom mining software, lowering barriers and boosting transparency.
Tether unveiled Mining OS (MOS), an open-source operating system for Bitcoin mining, at the 2026 Plan ₿ Forum in San Salvador. The platform allows operators to monitor, manage, and automate mining operations across multiple sites. Tether also introduced the Mining SDK, which developers can use to build mining software with standardized tools and APIs.
MOS Aims to Streamline Mining Operations
Bitcoin mining involves complex coordination of machines, power systems, and infrastructure. According to Tether, MOS treats each component as a controllable worker within a single operational layer. The system tracks hashrate, energy usage, device health, and site-level infrastructure, giving operators a unified view instead of fragmented software stacks.
MOS is modular and scalable, supporting installations from small home setups to industrial mining facilities. Its peer-to-peer architecture allows operators to manage hundreds of thousands of devices efficiently. The operating system can run on lightweight hardware or scale to full-site deployments without reliance on centralized software.
Open-Source and Hardware-Agnostic Design
Paolo Ardoino, Tether CEO, emphasized that MOS is built to make mining infrastructure more transparent and accessible. Released under an Apache 2.0 license, the system allows miners to customize operations freely. Using Holepunch peer-to-peer technology, the software avoids centralized dependencies and hidden controls, unlike proprietary mining solutions.
The Mining SDK, which underpins MOS, provides ready-to-use workers, simple APIs, and a UI toolkit for dashboards and operational tools. Tether plans to collaborate with the open-source community to finalize the framework in coming months. The approach aims to lower barriers for new miners and foster collaboration in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Tether Expands Beyond Stablecoins
MOS aligns with Tether’s broader expansion into Bitcoin mining, tokenization, AI, decentralized finance, and alternative assets. By open-sourcing mining infrastructure, Tether intends to strengthen network decentralization and transparency. Operators of all sizes can now adopt MOS and the Mining SDK to optimize mining performance across multiple locations efficiently.
The release marks Tether’s entry into mining infrastructure, offering tools designed to scale, automate, and enhance operational oversight while reducing reliance on costly third-party software.

Bitcoin community gospel! The first quantum-resistant Bitcoin trading solution that requires no soft fork, QSB, is here
StarkWare’s Avihu Levy publicly unveils a post-quantum bitcoin trading scheme, “Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB),” which can fend off quantum attacks without modifying the Bitcoin protocol. QSB addresses the quantum-safety problem using a hash function; it runs within the existing framework, and each transaction requires roughly $75 to $150 in computational fees. The scheme has not yet been integrated into consumer wallets, so users should avoid reusing addresses and monitor the wallet development progress.
