What is Autolykos2?

Autolykos2 is an ASIC-resistant proof-of-work algorithm developed by Ergo. Unlike many GPU algorithms that generate extreme core heat, Autolykos2 focuses on memory bandwidth and table lookups.

Miners can substantially lower core clock frequencies and voltages while maintaining high hashrate by optimizing memory clocks. This makes it particularly attractive for domestic setups where acoustic noise and electricity consumption are key concerns.

Technical Requirements:

Dedicated GPU with ≥3GB VRAM.
OpenCL or CUDA runtime environment.
Fast memory bandwidth (GDDR6 or HBM).

Mining Considerations & Thermal Risks

Autolykos2 offers among the lowest core thermal footprints in the GPU mining landscape.

Energy Efficiency:

Typical mid-range cards (RTX 3060, RX 6600) draw between 80W and 120W when tuned, providing high hashrate per watt.

Pool Fees & Payouts:

Average pool fees range from 0.9% to 1.0%. Minimum payouts typically sit between 0.5 and 1.0 ERG.
