IceRiver AL3 15Th Alephium ALPH Blake3 ASIC Miner: Product Overview
What Is the AL3 and What Does It Mine?
The IceRiver AL3 15Th is a dedicated Blake3 ASIC miner for Alephium. Manufactured by IceRiver. This model belongs to the IceRiver AL Series. Released in 2024.
Is the AL3 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 AL3 Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the Blake3 algorithm, you produce Alephium (ALPH) blocks, or earn Bitcoin and other coins by selling your Blake3 hash-power on the NiceHash Hashpower Marketplace (Nicehash-Alephium).
How Blake3 Mining Works
BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function used in the mining design of Alephium. Alephium combines proof of work with its Proof of Less Work mechanism, and dedicated ASICs are available for its mining workload. A shared hash function does not make machines interchangeable between blockchains: the construction of the mining task and the supported protocol also matter. Equipment listed for Alephium should therefore be assessed for Alephium compatibility, rather than assumed to mine every network that uses BLAKE3.
These Blake3 assets are covered in the earnings comparison below.

Hashpower marketplaces
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.
AL3 Cooling Method: Air
No additional cooling equipment is required. However, good airflow, air separation, and effective cooling practices are essential for optimal hashing.
