How AE BOX enhances crypto mining
Goldshell’s AE BOX is built to integrate with ALEO’s decentralised open-source platform, which employs zero-knowledge proofing to enhance privacy and efficiency. Key features include:
- Privacy protection – Zero-knowledge proofing allows transactions to be validated without exposing private data, reducing risks related to fraud and data leaks.
- Customisation – The AE BOX enables developers to personalise mining applications, adjusting settings for specific operational needs.
- Scalability – With high-performance computing capabilities, the miner supports complex transactions while maintaining efficiency as networks expand.
Goldshell has also introduced the AE BOX Pro, an upgraded version offering a hashrate of 44 MH/s±5% and power consumption of 460W±5% for those requiring greater mining capabilities.
