Blake3 Now Most Profitable PoW Algorithm for Crypto Miners, KAS Slips in Rankings

The Blake3 algorithm has emerged as the most profitable proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm, dethroning the Kheavyhash algorithm. Miners using the Blake3 algorithm can mine decred (DCR) or alephium (ALPH), with estimated daily profits of $40.53 for Bitmain's Antminer AL1 Pro. Scrypt ranks second in profitability, powering the mining of dogecoin (DOGE) and litecoin (LTC). The Kheavyhash algorithm, used to mine KAS, has dropped to third place in profitability. The SHA256 algorithm used for mining bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH) holds the fourth spot, while the Eaglesong algorithm associated with nervos (CKB) is ranked fifth. Profitability in crypto mining depends on algorithm efficiency, hardware advancements, and energy costs.
