Select your Alephium model at the top of the widget, for example from the Goldshell AL series, or enter hashrate and power consumption manually. Then enter your actual electricity price per kilowatt-hour - this is the lever with the greatest influence on the result. The calculator then shows you the estimated daily revenue in ALPH and euros, the power costs and the break-even electricity price, i.e. the threshold up to which a device is calculated to be in profit. All figures are a calculation example with no guarantee, based on current network data according to Cryptohall24 - hashrate and price change constantly, so every calculation is a snapshot, not a promise of future earnings.
Alephium is mined with specialised Blake3 ASICs, such as the Goldshell AL series. Your share of the reward results - as with any proof-of-work coin - from the ratio of your own hashrate to the network hashrate, multiplied by the emission and the current price. A special feature of Alephium is its BlockFlow sharding architecture: the network does not run on a single chain but on several parallel chain groups that together increase throughput. How the network hashrate develops across these chain groups is explained on the Alephium network hashrate page.
Besides network development, two factors determine how well an Alephium miner performs: the device's efficiency in joules per terahash and the electricity price used in the calculation. Older ASIC generations consume noticeably more power for the same hashrate than current models - the calculator makes this difference directly visible through the efficiency figure in joules per hashrate unit.
Whether an Alephium miner pays off depends above all on the electricity price. Mining at home can work with an efficient device and cheap energy, for example surplus solar power; at typical German household electricity prices, on the other hand, the calculation quickly becomes tight - also because of operating noise and waste heat in living spaces. For professional operation outside your own four walls, Cryptohall24 hosts Alephium ASICs from the Goldshell AL series in our partner data centres. Simply enter the electricity price relevant to you in the calculator to run your scenario. More on this at mining hosting at Cryptohall24.
