A Layer 1 blockchain focused on private, programmable smart contracts using zero-knowledge proofs. Mining means generating zk-SNARKs that the network actually uses.
Aleo Mining Hardware for Sale
Aleo is a zero-knowledge Layer 1 blockchain that uses Proof of Succinct Work, a proof-of-work design where miners generate zk-SNARK proofs instead of hashing. The ASIC market for Aleo is young and concentrated: IceRiver and Goldshell are the only two manufacturers shipping dedicated hardware as of early 2026. Bitmain has signaled interest but has not released a commercial Aleo miner. iPollo does not make zk-SNARK hardware.
IceRiver's AE series covers the full range: AE0 (50-60 MH/s at 100W) for quiet home mining, AE1 Lite (300 MH/s at 500W), AE2 (720 MH/s), and AE3 (up to 2 GH/s) for professional setups. Goldshell's AE lineup: AE Box (37 MH/s at 360W) and AE Box Pro for entry-level, E-AE1M (4.4 GH/s at 1,800W) for mid-scale, and AE Max (360 MH/s at lower J/MH) for quieter industrial use. IceRiver generally wins on J/MH; Goldshell tends to win on noise and home-friendliness.
Key things to check before buying: pool support (F2Pool and specialty Aleo pools are the common choices), wallet compatibility (Leo Wallet or Puzzle Wallet with an aleo1 address), and firmware release cadence since the Aleo protocol is still evolving. Unlike most altcoin ASICs, Aleo miners span a wide range of site profiles. The AE0 at 100W and Goldshell AE Box at 360W are genuinely quiet enough for home use. AE3 and E-AE1M flagships are industrial units that want 220V and dedicated space. Aleo network dynamics move fast: difficulty, pool hashrate, and protocol changes can swing profitability quickly, so run a current calculator before any large purchase.

FAQs
-
What is Aleo?
-
Which ASICs mine Aleo?
Only IceRiver and Goldshell ship dedicated Aleo ASICs. IceRiver makes the AE0, AE1 Lite, AE2, and AE3. Goldshell makes the AE Box, AE Box Pro, E-AE1M, and AE Max.
-
Does Bitmain make an Aleo miner?
Not yet. Bitmain has signaled interest in Aleo hardware, but as of early 2026 no Bitmain Aleo miner has shipped. IceRiver and Goldshell are the only active manufacturers.
-
Can I mine Aleo with a GPU?
Not competitively. GPUs dominated the testnet era, but ASICs now outpace GPU proof rates by a factor of hundreds. GPU Aleo mining isn’t viable on mainnet.
-
How much power does an Aleo miner use?
The IceRiver AE0 draws 100W. The Goldshell AE Box draws 360W. Mid-range units sit at 500-1,800W. Flagship AE3 and E-AE1M can reach 3,000W or more.
-
What wallet do I need for Aleo?
Leo Wallet or Puzzle Wallet. Your receive address starts with aleo1. Don’t send Aleo rewards to ETH or BTC addresses.
-
Which pools support Aleo?
F2Pool is the largest, along with several Aleo-specific pools that track protocol updates closely. Check current pool hashrate before committing.
-
Is Aleo mining profitable?
Depends on ALEO price, network difficulty, and your electricity cost. Home units like the AE0 can pay back quickly on cheap power; flagship units compete on J/MH and scale.
-
How loud are Aleo miners?
Home units (AE0, AE Box) run 10-45 dB, quieter than most laptops. Industrial units like the AE3 and E-AE1M produce 70-80 dB and need dedicated space.
-
Does BT-MINERS ship Aleo miners globally?
Yes. IceRiver and Goldshell Aleo hardware ships worldwide via DHL, UPS, FedEx, and TNT with tracked delivery and customs support.
