Block (XYZ) unveiled Proto Rig, a modular bitcoin mining system, and Proto Fleet, a free and open-source fleet management software. The announcement, made during an event held at Proto customer Core Scientific’s (CORZ) facility in Dalton, GA, where Proto Rigs are mining as part of their fleet, represents a significant step toward decentralizing bitcoin mining hardware, opening access to more builders, and increasing network resiliency. These mark the first two end-to-end releases by Proto, Block’s suite of bitcoin mining products and services, following its initial chip sale to Core Scientific.
