Affordability
$85/KW all in
Warehouse crypto mining facility
Cost to build physical crypto mining infrastructure in the warehouse starts
from $120/KW plus rent payments.
Smartbox crypto mining solution
Smartbox crypto mining infrastructure starts at $85/KW all in, 37.5%
cheaper, which equals to more than ⅓ quicker ROI on the CAPEX infrastructure.
Low depreciation
Full scrap value after 10 years of value is still 50% of the whole
infrastructure because of the high price of high quality electrical components.
Easy plug and play

Solution
EZ Blockcahin’s redesigned the mobile data center with a unique shelving system and airflow system to bring its capacity up to 2.5 MWs, installing 720 x Bitmain S17 type miners. Our engineering team had to design a separate electrical room built from scratch to make the work of the electrical operations team simpler and safer. The design of the mobile data center was divided in 6 separate sections, each had its own autonomous electrical surge protection infrastructure to operate each section independently.
Company’s team developed a simple from operations perspective but complex from engineering perspective filter louvers door in each section. This optimized the effort of changing filters on a constant basis, reducing the amount of labor hours needed to perform the work.
Our HVAC engineers had to pick a special type of fan blades used for HVAC cooling system to minimize the sound output from the fans in a 100% mode. In addition a commercial VFD system was installed to optimize the fan RPM during night hours to minimize the noise when the temperature drops during the night.
