Alephium ALPH

At 5¢/kWh the most profitable Alephium miner today, the IceRiver ALPH AL0, earns about $0.1 a day and burns $0.12 of electricity, leaving about $0 a day. 0 of 13 Blake3 miners we track are profitable at that price. Set your own power price above and the whole page recalculates.

Ranked by profit per day at 5¢/kWh: IceRiver ALPH AL0 ($0/day, 400 GH/s at 100 W), IceRiver AL2 Lite ($0/day, 2 TH/s at 500 W), Goldshell AL-BOX ($0/day, 360 GH/s at 180 W). The most efficient machine we track is the Bitmain Antminer AL1 Pro (16.6Th) at 224.7 J/TH; cheap power favours raw hashrate, expensive power favours efficiency, so the order changes with your price.

At today's price and difficulty the IceRiver ALPH AL0 breaks even at about 4.2¢ per kWh: above that it costs more to run than it earns. Pool fees (usually 1-4%), cooling and any hosting margin come on top, so plan with a buffer. Of the 13 machines we track, 5 are in profit at 3¢/kWh, 0 at 6¢ and 0 at 10¢, which is why miners chase cheap power.

The IceRiver ALPH AL0, at 400 GH/s, mines about 1.483 ALPH a day today, worth $0.1. That is 0.0072% of the network's 5.54 PH/s. The whole network mints about 23,462 ALPH a day ($1,582), and every miner earns its share of hashrate.

On its own, one IceRiver ALPH AL0 would find an Alephium block about once every 2 hours on average, and luck can stretch that a long way. With blocks this frequent, even a single machine gets regular rewards; pools still smooth the payouts. FPPS and PPS+ pools pay a fixed amount per share (fees often 2-4%), PPLNS pools pay out only when the pool finds a block (often 0-2%, but lumpier).

Right now each block pays about 0.144 ALPH including fees, with several blocks every second, about 23,462 ALPH a day. 121.04 million of the 1.00 billion maximum are already out (12%).

Alephium uses Blake3 on a sharded chain (16 chains across 4 groups). GPUs mined it first; ASICs (Goldshell AL series, Bitmain AL1) arrived in 2024. We track 13 Blake3 machines; judge them by J/TH (efficiency) against your power price, then by price per TH, cooling type and the warranty and repair options where you will run them.

Pick a machine for your power price (see the table above), then sort out power and cooling: most ASICs need 200-277 V at 10-30 A each, hydro models usually 380-415 V three-phase and a cooling loop, and air-cooled units are too loud for a home. Set up an Alephium wallet, point the machine at a pool, and watch temperatures in the first days. If you don't have cheap power and space, hosting is the usual route: a host runs the machine for an all-in price per kWh. CryptoSites.io lists both powered sites and hosting.
