According to ChainCatcher, the decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure Aethir has opened the Aethir Cloud Drop (Season 1) airdrop claim at 17:00 today. This season, a total of 630 million ATHs (1.5%) will be rewarded to the Aethir community, including Checker Node holders and Aethir OG, as well as all other Web3 communities participating in the Aethir Cloud Drop. The Aethir airdrop event will last for three seasons, and a total of 6% of the ATH supply will be reserved for airdrop rewards. Please go to https://claim.aethir.com/ to claim the airdrop.
In addition, Aethir has launched an innovative ATH staking, where users can choose whether to set a lock-up period, and can withdraw ATH at any time, or lock the staked ATH for a specific period of time to increase ATH rewards. Staking rewards are distributed once a week, and the amount depends on the lock-up period and the proportion relative to the total number of ATH locked in the staking pool. Users must bridge ATH from Arbitrum to the Ethereum mainnet to stake. Users who claim the airdrop and stake ATH will receive rewards in Cloud Drop Season 2 and Season 3.
ATH staking users will also receive a basket of additional rewards, including numerous Web3 games and AI companies. Aethir has launched two staking pools, ATH Gaming and ATH AI. The former will receive Aethir gaming partner tokens, and the latter will receive AI partner tokens. ATH holders can use both pools at the same time and distribute their staked ATH.
Users will receive two tokens during the staking period: stATH (transferable) and veATH (non-transferable). stATH can be used on various partner platforms and protocols, and veATH is used to track the number of staking rewards to be claimed and the initial staked tokens. To withdraw the main ATH, both veATH and stATH balances must be returned to the original staking wallet.
