How to Prepare Your Fleet for Reward Reductions
1. Optimize Joules-per-Terahash (J/TH)
Deploying hash_ce autotuning firmware decreases your power draw by up to 18%, allowing older hardware to stay profitable long after subsidy drops.
2. Capture 100% of Fee Spikes with FPPS
As block subsidies decline, transaction fees represent a larger fraction of miner revenue. Our FPPS model passes 100% of fee rewards directly to workers.
