A new stage of CKB network computing power: from GPU/FPGA to ASIC

A new stage of CKB network computing power: from GPU/FPGA to ASIC

Recently, CKB mining has changed from GPU/FPGA to ASIC. Today, we are also very happy to see that the CKB mainnet hashrate has reached 2PH/s. So far, 4 types of ASIC miners have been announced to join the CKB network, and CKB is still in the beginning stage of increasing its hashrate.
After going through the process from CPU -> GPU -> FGPA -> ASIC, and mature ASIC manufacturing and distribution, the CKBytes mined by CKB have been dispersed everywhere for a long time. As we expected, Eaglesong's simple design lowered the manufacturing threshold of ASIC, but the power of the market far exceeded our wildest imagination. Within four months of Lina's launch, 4 ASIC models appeared.
The Nervos network is decentralized and continues to grow.
