Dayun Zig Z1+ Zig Z1 Plus

The Dayun Zig Z1+ is a purpose-built Lyra2REv2 ASIC delivering a steady 7.25 GH/s at a 1,200 W draw and claiming the distinction of being the world’s first 28 nm Lyra2REv2 ASIC, a combination that balances sustained throughput with improved energy characteristics compared with earlier generations; engineered for continuous operation, it mounts a custom heatsink inside a robust aluminum shell and uses a dual-fan cooling array that runs at roughly 70 dB to keep junction temperatures stable, while a PCB layout tuned to reduce electromagnetic interference lowers failure rates and extends mean time between failures-advantages that matter when scaling to rack-level or industrial deployments. Firmware offers both manual and dynamic frequency controls so operators can tune clocks and power envelopes to ambient conditions and electricity constraints, and network interfaces that support daisy-chaining simplify large-scale deployment and management; standard mining pool compatibility and an accessible web UI for configuration and real-time monitoring make integration into existing operations straightforward. Operationally, plan for adequate ventilation and heat extraction-nearly all electrical input becomes thermal load-sized power supplies with clean 12 V rails and headroom, noise mitigation if sited near people, and continuous monitoring of hash rate, temperature and fan speeds to spot degradation early; use profit and payback modeling that varies electricity and maintenance assumptions to compare hash-to-cost ratios and decide when to expand or retire units. In short, the Zig Z1+ is not just a single-purpose workhorse but a modular, tunable building block for a strategically minded miner: precise, facts-forward and risk-aware in planning, yet with an edge like a well-trained predator-reliable in the daylight, dangerous to inefficiency, and with a dark, seductive hum that promises both order and the thrill of raw computational power.

It arrives like a quiet engine at the end of an alley-tempered, deliberate, built to chew numbers until the night goes thin-Dayun’s Zig Z1+ wears aluminum armor and a twin-fan breath that whispers near seventy decibels while it pushes 7.25 GH/s through the Lyra2REv2 grind, drinking about 1,200 watts and doing it as the world’s first 28 nm Lyra2REv2 ASIC, a milestone that tightens energy per hash and nudges older rigs toward obsolescence; under that shell a custom heatsink and a PCB laid out for signal integrity and EMI suppression share the work of keeping junctions cool and failure modes rare, and the firmware is a two-way street-manual clocking for the tuner, dynamic frequency scaling for the operator who lets the machine read the room-while networking that supports daisy-chaining keeps rack cabling honest and management scalable. It’s proven useful across Monacoin, Vertcoin, Verge and smaller Lyra2REv2 forks, showing that a specialist can be versatile, and its engineering choices-sturdy casing, tuned board geometry, modular I/O-make it as comfortable on a benchtop for experimenters as it is in dense, industrial stacks where uptime and predictable hash curves matter. Practically, plan ventilation and heat extraction as if every watt were a small heater, spec a power supply with clean 12 V rails and ample headroom, fit dust filters and good thermal paste, and route exhaust away from intakes; expect continuous monitoring of hash rate, temperatures and fan RPMs to catch degradation early, schedule firmware updates and backup configurations, and consider UPS and surge protection to avoid abrupt shutdowns that shorten service life. The trade-offs are plain: you get tunable control over efficiency versus raw throughput, modular networking that eases growth, and hardware choices that lengthen mean time between failures-meaningful levers for anyone building a cluster-so the Zig Z1+ sits where strategy meets appetite, a machine that converts steady current into relentless calculation with the quiet certainty of something that knows its own hunger.

Lyra2REv2 is a cryptographic hash function that serves as the backbone of Monacoin proof-of-work consensus mechanism. This algorithm processes input data of any length and produces a fixed hash value, ensuring security and integrity in the mining process.
