# Mining on Ascraeus

Last updated on Feb14, 2023

Miners can join the Ascraeus testnet with two types of devices, Deimos and Helium hotspots.

## Mining with Deimos

Deimos is the edge node device for the OORT Decentralized Edge Network (OORT DEN). Each Deimos is a small device with computing and storage capabilities suitable for any household setting. Learn more about [Deimos](https://docs.oortech.com/oort-den/den-edge-nodes) and [Deimos tokenomics](https://docs.oortech.com/oort-den/den-edge-nodes/edge-node-tokenomics).

Make sure to purchase Deimos only from OORT official [ecosystem partners](https://docs.oortech.com/oort-den/eco-partners).

{% hint style="info" %}
Each ecosystem partner will be reviewed and approved by the OORT Foundation, but we advise doing your own research as a vendor listing does not equal endorsement or recommendation.

## Mining with Helium Hotspots

Current Helium miners need to contact their Helium hotspot manufacturers to join the Ascraeus testnet.
