Price Adapt automatically adjusts each miner to the most profitable power target for the conditions ahead, or curtails it when mining no longer makes economic sense.

It is now available in Free Early Access in Braiins Manager until September 30, 2026.

Profit More From the Same Mining Fleet

The opportunity is simple: avoid spending too much on power when margins are tight, while taking advantage of cheap electricity when there is more profit to capture.

To estimate the impact, we modeled Price Adapt using 2025 ERCOT LZ_WEST Day-Ahead prices at a 1 MW site, with seven-day trailing hashprice and Braiins OS efficiency curves for two common Antminer models running Braiins OS.

The modeled results showed:

• Antminer S19J Pro: +36.2% profit (11.9% Braiins OS + 24.4% Price Adapt) 
• Antminer S21 XP: +15.3% profit (12.4% Braiins OS + 2.9% Price Adapt)

No new miners or additional power capacity. The uplift comes from adapting the existing fleet’s operation to the market conditions change. 

Beyond On/Off Curtailment

Traditional curtailment is mostly binary: mine or don't mine. But Price Adapt goes further. When electricity is cheap, the most profitable decision may be to run a miner harder. As electricity gets more expensive, underclocking can produce a better margin. And when the cost of power exceeds what the miner can profitably earn, the best decision is to stop hashing.

Price Adapt makes that decision independently and automatically for each miner.

This matters in mixed fleets. An S19J Pro and an S21 XP have different efficiency curves and therefore different breakeven points. Price Adapt does not treat them as if their economics were the same.

How Price Adapt Works

Price Adapt combines three inputs:

• Energy price: Day-Ahead Market electricity prices for your location.
• Hashprice: A seven-day average of mining revenue per unit of hashrate.
• Miner efficiency: How a supported miner's power consumption and hashrate change across its operating range.

For every hour, Price Adapt evaluates the available operating points for each miner and selects the one with the highest expected profitability. For supported miners running Braiins OS, that can mean overclocking, underclocking, running at the current target, or pausing.

If none of the available power settings are profitable, the miner is curtailed until conditions improve. The next day's actions are scheduled automatically from Day-Ahead energy prices.

Braiins OS Unlocks Full Power Optimization

Stock firmware miners can still be paused and resumed based on profitability, but supported miners running Braiins OS get the full benefit of Price Adapt.

Because Braiins OS provides granular power-target control, Price Adapt can search across the miner's efficiency curve rather than relying on a simple on/off threshold. That is what turns Price Adapt from automated strike-price curtailment into miner-level profitability optimization.

Who Is Price Adapt For?

Price Adapt is built for mining operations where electricity costs change over time, particularly sites exposed to hourly Day-Ahead pricing.

It is especially useful for:

• ERCOT and PJM miners managing volatile hourly energy prices.
• Mixed fleets where different miner generations have different breakeven points.
• Braiins OS fleets that can take advantage of dynamic power targets instead of simple curtailment.
• Capacity-constrained sites that need optimization to stay within a fixed MW limit.
• Operators managing curtailment manually who want profitability decisions scheduled automatically.

Start With Your Fleet

Price Adapt currently supports Day-Ahead pricing in ERCOT and PJM. Simply connect the energy market for your location, choose which miners Price Adapt should manage, and enable your profile. Braiins Manager then builds the schedule and gives you visibility into upcoming actions and the market conditions behind them.

For miners already responding to changing electricity prices, Price Adapt automates the decision-making. With Braiins OS, it goes one step further by finding the most profitable way to run each miner before shutting it down becomes the best option.
