About Luxor
Luxor specializes in the physical delivery of compute power, commonly referred to as hashrate. For the past four years, we’ve operated as a prominent purchaser and miner of hashrate, with a cumulative investment exceeding $500 million. Currently, we collaborate with 130,000 machines whose hashrate we acquire on a daily basis.
Our core belief revolves around treating compute power as a commodity. Consequently, we are dedicated to constructing conventional marketplaces and derivatives tailored to this unique resource.
Our primary initiative involves establishing a spot-market for hashrate, akin to the concept of a compute-power counterpart to Henry Hub. Following this endeavor, we will embark on the creation of advanced and innovative derivative products centered around the value of hashrate.
Our teams oversee mission-critical components of a rapidly expanding, globally distributed platform, encompassing assets such as the Hashrate Marketplace and 15 distinctive mining pools. These elements exist in the cloud, affording you a remarkable opportunity to wield significant influence over the present state and future trajectory of our product. You will have visibility throughout the organization and ample room to assume ownership of critical aspects.
