MDK by Tether
Open infrastructure for monitoring and controlling Bitcoin mining
MDK is modular and hardware-abstracted: Workers normalize devices, the Kernel (ORK) discovers Workers and aggregates telemetry, the Gateway (App Node) owns application APIs and auth, and the UI Devkit builds operator dashboards.
