Select your Kadena model at the top of the widget, for example the iBeLink BM-K3 or the Bitmain KA3, 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 KDA 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.
Kadena is mined with specialised Blake2s ASICs, such as the iBeLink BM-K3 or the Bitmain KA3. Your share of the reward results from the ratio of your own hashrate to the network hashrate, multiplied by the emission and the current price. A special feature of Kadena is its Chainweb architecture: instead of a single chain, many parallel, interwoven proof-of-work chains run side by side - miners mine on several chains at once. How the network hashrate develops across these chains is explained on the Kadena network hashrate page.
Besides network development, two factors determine how well a Kadena 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 a Kadena 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 Kadena ASICs such as the iBeLink BM-K3 and the Bitmain KA3 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.
