Where NA is headed

Nano Labs sits at an awkward intersection in late 2026. The core business, designing HTC and HPC chips for ASIC-resistant mining algorithms like Ethereum Classic and Grin, is a shrinking pond in a market that has moved on. Revenue is down 66.5% year-on-year. Gross margin is negative 10.7%, meaning the company loses money on every chip it sells before you even get to R&D, salaries, or the Hangzhou office lights. The Cuckoo product line was designed for a world where Ethereum was still proof-of-work, and that world ended in September 2022.
