Canaan Avalon Mini 3 37.5Th SHA-256 Bitcoin Home Miner: Product Overview
What Is the Avalon Mini 3 and What Does It Mine?
The Canaan Avalon Mini 3 37.5Th is a dedicated SHA-256 ASIC miner for Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash. Manufactured by Canaan. This model belongs to the Canaan Mini Series. Released in 2025.
Is the Avalon Mini 3 Right for Your Setup?
Mining starts with power. A competitive electricity tariff or surplus renewable generation can give your operation a useful cost advantage, while higher electricity prices can make an otherwise capable miner uneconomic. Compare your rate and chosen coin in the earnings table, allowing for cooling, pool fees and any other operating costs.
Prefer to avoid the day-to-day work of running your own mining site? Our managed ASIC hosting services offer an alternative, with power, cooling and monitoring handled at the facility. Explore current locations and rates, then speak to our team to confirm compatibility, availability, minimum quantities and any additional fees.
For this air cooled model, plan a clear route for cool intake air and warm exhaust air. Allow for fan noise and a continuous electrical load, with the supply and connection assessed for the manufacturer’s requirements.
Confirm the power supply, leads and cooling equipment included with your exact variant, and obtain its manufacturer’s installation manual before arranging the installation.
Which Coins Can the Avalon Mini 3 Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the SHA-256 algorithm, you can secure Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and AuxPoW siblings such as DigiByte SHA (DGB), eCash (XEC), Peercoin (PPC) and Fractal Bitcoin (FB); you can also earn Bitcoin and other coins by selling your SHA-256 hash-power on the NiceHash Hashpower Marketplace (Nicehash-SHA-AB).
How SHA-256 Mining Works
SHA-256 is the cryptographic hash function used in Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin applies it twice to a block header, and miners repeatedly test candidate headers until a result meets the network difficulty target. Dedicated ASIC hardware performs this work at scale. For equipment comparisons, hashrate describes the amount of hashing work a machine performs, while efficiency describes the energy needed for that work. Compatibility also depends on the network and mining protocol supported by the device and pool.

NiceHashBTC
Coin and merged mining support depend on the network, pool and firmware. Selling hashpower through a marketplace is different from directly mining its payout coin.
Avalon Mini 3 Cooling Method: Air
No additional cooling equipment is required. However, good airflow, air separation, and effective cooling practices are essential for optimal hashing.
