It produces application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for use in bitcoin mining. Founded by N.G. Zhang in 2013,[1] Canaan invented the first Bitcoin-specific ASICs.[2] Canaan is known for using open source software in its products.[3] {{asof|2018|09}} Canaan was the world's second-largest mining hardware manufacturer.[4] On May 15, 2018, Canaan filed for an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, seeking to raise US$1 billion.[5]{{asof|2018|09}} Canaan's chip architect and former CTO, Chen Min, launched a new company called Linzhi to create a new line of Ethereum miners with a code name of Lavasnow which mine Ethereum at 1,400 million hashes per second.[6][7]{{asof|2018|10}} In October 2018, Canaan announced its newest miner, the 911 which reportedly has performance of 18 Terahash per second and the power consumption of 1440 Watts.[8] This is the second miner in the 9 series behind the 921 which is also powered by Canaan's 7 nm process ASIC chips says Canaan representatives.{{asof|2018|11}} In November 2018, Canaan allowed its Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing for $1 Billion USD to lapse and expire.[9]{{asof|2018|12}} In December 2018, Canaan reportedly raised 'hundreds of millions of dollars'.[10]{{asof|2019|01}} In January 2019, reports surfaced that Canaan is currently considering an IPO in the United States.[11][12]{{asof|2019|02}} In February 2019, according to documents filed, Canaan Co-founder and board member since 2013, Xiangfu Liu is no longer a board member of Canaan Creative and stepped away from his day-to-day role at the company due to "disagreements" over the companies strategy.[13]{{asof|2019|03}} In March 2019, Canaan Co-founder, Xiangfu Liu released "open source" plans for the Bitcoin Miner Canaan A851 and earliest miner the FPGA Miner, Icarus, along with other design files.[14][15]Pre-Canaan HistoryIn 2010, while still pursuing a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, Ngzhang discovered Bitcoin. In November 2011, Ngzhang announced on Bitcointalk the world's first dedicated bitcoin mining hardware named "Icarus" using FPGA technology.[16] The follow-up product came in May 2012 with the second FPGA-based design, the Lancelot.[17] In 2012, upon the release of Icarus, the Bitcoin community and industry gave much attention to the project. Then Ngzhang founded the Avalon Project as the brand to launch bitcoin mining hardware and Avalon ASIC semiconductors. And, because the software around the chips is open source, many engineers joined the project.[18] Pre-Canaan Pre-Avalon FPGA Miners
Avalon Product Line HistoryAvalon is a Canaan Creative brand and product line offering both bitcoin mining machines and semiconductor chips under the same name. The project was originally created by Zhang Ng, known also as "ngzhang". By January 2013, the Avalon Project successfully developed the world's first dedicated bitcoin mining ASIC chip, the Avalon1 A3256. A month later, Avalon announced a product, the Avalon1 3module which used the Avalon1 A3256 chip. The Avalon1 had the equivalent SHA-256 algorithm calculating power as the most powerful graphics card at the time, AMD's HD5970[19] Test's performed showed that the chip was 110 times more powerful than the previous FPGA calculating power. This also meant that use of graphics card "GPU" bitcoin mining had also been surpassed with the Avalon1. In August 2013, the Avalon Project launched its second generation of dedicated bitcoin mining ASIC chips, the Avalon2 A3255. Soon after, the "Avalon2 Single" hardware product using a single Avalon2 A3255 chip, was released. Unlike past machines, the Avalon2 does not operate in standalone mode. During the design of the Avalon2, a bottleneck in mining performance was realized with a standalone-only design. Therefore, the Avalon2 also is operated with an external controller so multiple Avalon2 Single units can be operated in parallel to reduce peripheral costs. The mining power in Bitcoin shifted from a single user's running individual mining machines to running Bitcoin mining farms. In April 2014, the Avalon Project launched the third generation dedicated bitcoin mining chip the Avalon3 A3233 after 1 year and 3 months from its predecessor. In that time, the Bitcoin industry grew around the world. The Avalon Project also launched the Bitcoin hardware product, the Avalon3 using the Avalon3 A3233 ASIC chip and an open source Web-based management software called AMS (Avalon Management System).[2] In August 2014, Avalon released the Avalon nano with a single A3233 chip on a small unit one can simply plug into a USB port for power and mining. By September 2014, the Avalon Project entered advanced IC (Integrated circuit) design by releasing the Avalon3 A3222 chip using a 28 nm ASIC chip manufacturing process. In October 2014, the Avalon4.0 mining hardware was released using 40 Avalon A3222 chips to bring 1T or 1 Terahashes per second SHA-256 Hashing power. The latest hardware release came in October 2015 is the Avalon6 which uses 80 updated A3218 Avalon Avalon ASIC chips to achieve a 3.5T hash rate. ASIC Processors
Avalon Miners
Other productsIn August 2018, Canaan announced a TV set that supposedly called "AvalonMiner Inside" which is a TV set with processing power of 2.8 trillion hashes per second.[48] In October 2018, Canaan announced the creation of a KPU or knowledge processing unit with an official title of Kendryte.[8] Other products Canaan is working on include a "cloud computing heater" and a mobile mining farm called an "Avalon Box". {{asof|2018|10}} As of October 2018, from Canaan's official website, it is unknown if these products were actually released or exist.[49]Acquisition historyThe company attempted a reverse acquisition for $466 Millions USD by Shandong Luyitong (LYT), publicly traded company on the Shenzhen stock market.[50][51] After the acquisition, Canaan Creative would have been a wholly owned sudsidiary at that point.[52][53] Public reports stated that, "Luyitong [would have] paid roughly ¥1bn (approximately $152m) in cash, and issued 81 million shares at an average price per share of ¥24.57 ($3.74), representing an additional ¥1.99bn (roughly $303m)."[53][54][55][56] Reports say that Canaan's "strong sales projections fueled the valuation, and that it anticipated a net profit of $27m for 2016, with expectations of $39m and $53m in 2017 and 2018, respectively."[54] The attempted deal was an investment in Canaan's future as noted by founder, N.G. Zhang's statement, "This acquisition and investment provides us the necessary resources and autonomy to make even better products and innovations that our customers expect."[55][57] However, in the end, the deal did not happen as noted by Coindesk. "While Canaan spent time and resources pulling together this deal, those efforts are not wasted. They are contributions to our future. Internally Canaan strengthened its management structure, refreshed our public image, and have our product pipelines flowing to deliver solid reliable and efficient bitcoin technology solutions worldwide," said N.G. Zhang, Canaan's CEO.[58] See also
