Understanding Aleo Mining and PoSW
Aleo uses a unique consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Succinct-Work (PoSW). Unlike traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) where miners find arbitrary hashes, Aleo provers generate Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs for transactions. This makes the mining process both a security mechanism and a practical computation service.
Key Metrics for Calculation
PPS (Proofs Per Second): This is the speed at which your hardware can generate proofs. It is the Aleo equivalent of "Hashrate."
Network Hashrate: The combined PPS of all provers globally. Your share of the rewards is proportional to your PPS vs. the Network PPS.
Daily Emission: The total number of Aleo tokens distributed to provers every 24 hours.
Power Consumption: GPU mining for ZK-proofs is intensive. High-end NVIDIA cards (like the 3090 or 4090) are common choices but require significant wattage.
Hardware Requirements
Because generating ZK-proofs is computationally heavy on both the core and memory, Aleo mining is currently dominated by GPUs. To maximize your PPS, look for hardware with high CUDA core counts and fast memory bandwidth. CPUs can participate but are generally much less efficient than specialized GPU setups.
Profitability and Risk
Aleo mining profitability fluctuates based on network difficulty and the market price of the ALEO token. Always consider the initial hardware investment (CAPEX) alongside the ongoing electricity costs (OPEX). Use this calculator as a baseline, but remember that network difficulty usually increases over time as more provers join the network.
