3. FPGA

FPGA used to be a popular crypto mining tool sometime back due to its versatile mining capabilities for different cryptos.

4. ASIC

The ASIC mining rig is a tool that has been used the most in recent times by miners. ASIC (Integrated Circuits for Specific Applications) has been designed specially for performing specific tasks.
