Start with the VNISH firmware catalog. Select the full model name and control board. For common models, open the dedicated pages for Antminer S19 or Antminer S21. Variants such as S19j Pro, S21 Pro and S21 XP have their own catalog entries.
The current version depends on the model and board. For example, the Antminer S21 AML NAND route currently lists VNISH 1.3.6. Check the version and exact file name on your model's page rather than choosing a file by release number alone.
Use the file linked from the exact model and board route. The published file name, size and SHA-256 let you check that your download matches that catalog entry. A matching checksum confirms file correspondence; the installation guide determines whether the route applies to your device.
The build is FREE OF CHARGE to download and to test. No licence key, no trial timer. A small share of active hashrate applies only while the firmware is actually running - no installation fee, no penalty if you stop - and it stays visible in the dashboard. On a well-matched ASIC the gains normally outweigh it several times over.
