Custom ASIC Development
DCRAsic engineers Application-Specific Integrated Circuits purpose-built for cryptocurrency mining — delivering peak hash rates, lower power draw, and silicon advantages no off-the-shelf chip can match.
Who We Are
DCRAsic is a hardware development startup under the DCRAsic organization, focused entirely on designing Application-Specific Integrated Circuits for cryptocurrency mining workloads. We exist because generic computing hardware leaves enormous performance and efficiency headroom on the table.
Our team brings together chip architects, digital IC designers, and mining infrastructure experts to build ASICs that treat hashing algorithms as first-class design constraints — not an afterthought. Every transistor is there for a reason.
We partner with foundries and packaging houses across the full supply chain, giving clients a single technical partner from architectural specification through tape-out and bringup.
Architectures tuned to SHA-256, Scrypt, Ethash, and custom algorithms at the register-transfer level.
Clock gating, voltage-domain partitioning, and place-and-route driven power reduction from day one.
FPGA prototyping and emulation-driven verification shorten design cycles and de-risk tape-out.
Structured design flows and IP reuse strategies get your product to silicon faster than starting from scratch.
What We Do
From concept to packaged chip, DCRAsic provides the technical depth to take your mining hardware idea to production silicon.
Micro-architectural design of compute engines tailored to your target algorithm — SHA-256, Scrypt, X11, Blake2, or proprietary hashing schemes. Includes throughput modeling and power/area trade-off analysis.
SystemVerilog RTL design with functional coverage-driven verification using UVM methodologies. Full simulation, formal property checking, and lint-clean deliverables ready for synthesis.
Logic synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, clock tree synthesis, and signoff closure against timing, power, and DRC/LVS rules for your target foundry process node.
Early-stage FPGA implementation on Xilinx UltraScale+ or Intel Stratix platforms for algorithm validation, firmware integration, and mining stack bring-up before committing to silicon.
Co-design of chip package and thermal solution for high-power mining environments, including BGA substrate design, thermal simulation, and board integration guidelines.
Post-silicon characterization, speed-binning, and ATE test program development. Full performance and power measurement at real mining conditions before production volume shipment.
How We Work
We align on target algorithm, performance goals, power envelope, process node, and volume to build a project specification and feasibility report.
Exploration of compute pipeline architectures with cycle-accurate models to validate hash-rate and Joule-per-hash projections before any RTL is written.
Implementation in SystemVerilog with full UVM testbench coverage, formal checks, and FPGA prototype deployment for early software integration.
Place-and-route through GDSII generation with full PVT corner closure and foundry DRC/LVS clean deliverables ready for tape-out submission.
Silicon characterization, production test program sign-off, and yield analysis with ongoing support through volume manufacturing ramp.
Why DCRAsic
Every design decision is evaluated against hash rate per watt. We don't port general-purpose IP blocks into mining chips — we build from the algorithm up.
We hold working knowledge of SHA-256d, Scrypt, Ethash, Autolykos, Kaspa's kHeavyHash, and other proof-of-work schemes at the hardware level.
We design to be portable across TSMC, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, and UMC nodes, letting volume economics and lead times drive foundry selection.
A lean team with tape-out experience at leading semiconductor companies, without the overhead and minimum order sizes that slow large design houses down.
All RTL, physical design databases, and verification assets developed for your project transfer to you at delivery. Your silicon, your IP.
