The hire signals a push to court institutions ahead of a planned mainnet launch.

Overview

  • Hunter Rogers, formerly a senior ecosystem and investment lead at TRON DAO, was named co-founder of TeraHash on Nov. 6.
  • He will lead ecosystem partnerships, institutional outreach, and community growth to position the protocol as an institutional standard for Bitcoin mining yield.
  • TeraHash says its $THS token represents 1 TH/s of mining power, enabling users to stake for daily Bitcoin rewards, with $HASH serving governance and yield amplification roles.
  • The company reports more than 8 million pre-launch users, over $300 million in equipment contracts, and roughly 50% historical APY, figures presented by TeraHash and not independently verified in the coverage.
