Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin USDT, has announced an ambitious step that goes far beyond its usual activities. The company's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, announced the development of its own operating system for mining, Mining OS (MOS), and plans to open its source code to the community by the end of 2025. This step marks a serious diversification of the business and a desire to occupy new technological niches.
The key feature of MOS is its modular architecture. Users will be able to independently configure the system, choosing only the necessary components, which makes it equally suitable for both enthusiasts with a small fleet of equipment and for industrial mining farms operating "hundreds of thousands" of devices. According to Ardoino, the operating system already includes support for a wide range of popular miner models. Moreover, MOS includes plugins for deep integration with related infrastructure - from power supply and cooling systems to thermostats and other auxiliary devices, which allows you to create a single control center for the entire complex.
However, the true potential of Mining OS is revealed in its synergy with another innovative project of Tether - the computing platform QVAC (QuantumVerse Automatic Computer). It is planned that MOS will serve as a data source for QVAC. This powerful analytical tool will collect and process information from databases generated by the operating system for deep performance optimization and the formation of detailed reports. This will allow not only to manage equipment, but also to increase its efficiency based on deep data analysis.
The launch of the QVAC platform itself was announced in mid-May. Tether positions it as a basis for running highly scalable and autonomous applications directly on local devices, without the need to be tied to centralized cloud services. Earlier, Ardoino emphasized in an interview with Forbes that the company aims to create a decentralized and privacy-oriented alternative to large cloud platforms, which often require users to compromise on privacy issues. The new platform is designed to work with devices of almost any price segment - "from $ 30 to an iPhone, an Android phone, and any laptop."
The decision to make the MOS source code public is a strategic move aimed at gaining trust and stimulating widespread adoption. Ardoino noted that this process requires significant preparation. "In order to open the source code of the project, our team will need to write a large amount of documentation, manuals, and prepare repositories for public use. The expected publication time is the fourth quarter of 2025," he said.
This move can not only change the balance of power in the mining software market, but also become a precedent for other major players in the crypto industry. It clearly demonstrates that the future lies in creating complex, interconnected ecosystems, and not in dominance within a single, albeit very successful, product.
