An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is a chip precisely programmed for a specific purpose. Hence, ASICs are more robust and efficient than general-purpose devices. ASIC miners are commonly used in crypto mining as ASICs can be finely optimized for the mining algorithm of any cryptocurrency that miners intend to mine.

The blog will talk about ASIC miners in detail, their pros and cons, their contribution to crypto mining, and much more.
