"Tether has open-sourced a new operating system for bitcoin mining, unveiling MiningOS (MOS) as part of a broader push to reduce the industry's reliance on proprietary, vendor-controlled software. The stablecoin issuer announced Monday that MOS, a modular and scalable operating system designed to manage, monitor, and automate bitcoin mining operations, is now available as open-source software under the Apache 2.0 license. The system was officially unveiled at the 2026 Plan ₿ Forum in San Salvador."
"According to Tether, MOS is built to coordinate the complex mix of hardware, power systems, containers, and physical infrastructure that underpin modern bitcoin mining. Rather than relying on fragmented software stacks, the operating system treats every component of a mining site as a controllable "worker" within a single operational layer, providing operators with unified visibility across hashrate, energy usage, device health, and site-level infrastructure. The company said MOS uses a self-hosted, peer-to-peer architecture based on Holepunch protocols, allowing miners to manage operations without relying on centralized services or third-party platforms."
"The system is designed to scale from small home installations running on lightweight hardware to industrial-grade deployments managing hundreds of thousands of machines across multiple locations. "Mining OS is built to make Bitcoin mining infrastructure more open, modular, and accessible," said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. "Whether it's a small operator running a handful of machines or a full-scale industrial site, the same operating system can scale without reliance on centralized, third-party software.""
