Making Bitcoin Mining Accessible Through Renewable Energy

This episode of Edge of NFT explores how Bluewheel Mining is innovating to make Bitcoin mining more accessible and eco-friendly. CEO Vickaash Agarwal explains how their project leverages blockchain technology and renewable energy to create the largest, community-run mining operation.

By building mining infrastructure that utilizes sustainable power sources like solar and wind, Bluewheel reduces costs and environmental impact. Their decentralized model distributes mining rewards daily to holders of their NFT nodes. This opens Bitcoin mining profits, previously reserved for large-scale investors, to regular people.

Vickaash details how the smart contracts automatically deduct electricity fees and distribute bitcoins earned to node holders’ wallets. Bluewheel handles maintenance and operations of the 3000 miners so individuals can earn passive income without technical mining know-how. Upcoming plans include mining facility expansions and integrating DeFi services like lending for NFT holders.

The interview explores Vickaash’s vision to keep innovating at the intersection of blockchain, DeFi, and renewables. He sees opportunities to apply AI and quantum technologies to advance materials science. Vickaash advocates for patience, honesty, and avoiding greed—advice that guides both his entrepreneurial and philanthropic pursuits.
