Cointerra is an ASIC company that brings world class engineering to the cryptocurrency space. By focusing on superior design, economies of scale, and vertical integration, we push the technological limits in all directions to provide best-in-class Bitcoin mining and other cryptocurrency solutions.
Our vision is a stable and flourishing Bitcoin network with Cointerra as a reliable and trusted node for transaction clearing.
What makes Cointerra stand out from the competition?
The current crop of hardware-based Bitcoin mining designs are generally very similar to each other – they don’t have any direct experience designing ASICs so they hire outside companies to design the chips for them. In turn, most of these design companies are not experts in the field of optimized circuitry for cryptography hash functions, so they take the quick and easy route of using freely-available open source hash designs and more or less cut-and-pasting them into an ASIC. This is extremely inefficient – especially when applied to an advanced 28nm process node.
Cointerra has a different approach: Build a world-class team of experienced chip designers from the ground up with the sole focus of engineering high-performance, power-efficient, low-cost custom Bitcoin mining solutions.
28 nm
The days of 110 nm or even 65 nm chips being competitive are soon to end once the 28 nm ASICs start shipping. The smaller geometry will offer superior performance and power efficiency by several orders magnitude.
We know that there is competition. We know that there are others who also are designing 28 nm ASIC mining chips. We believe we will have the most competitive silicon in performance and power consumption, and we expect that to result in an unbeatable price/performance proposition—not just for the up front cost of the silicon but also for the power consumption over the mining life of the hardware.
