Aethir, a leading enterprise-grade GPU-as-a-Service solution provider and decentralized cloud infrastructure, announced that its cloud computing network is officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet. Through Aethir , enterprises, data centers, other cloud providers and cryptocurrency mining operators can contribute idle GPU resources to the Aethir network, participate in improving the availability of global computing resources, and support the development of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) ) and innovation in cloud gaming.
After successfully completing $146 million in node sales and receiving support from NVIDIA, Super Micro, HPE, and Foxconn, Aethir has exceeded 500,000 users on the testnet. Its growing fleet of Nvidia H100 and other high-end enterprise GPUs is now used by more than a dozen AI and gaming studios. As Aethir transitions from testnet to mainnet, enterprises and developers will have on-demand access to GPU resources provided by nodes located in more than 23 locations.
"By providing a scalable framework to reallocate idle computing resources, we can drive more innovation in the rapidly growing fields of AI, ML and cloud gaming." said Mark Rydon, Chief Business Officer of Aethir. "Now on mainnet, high-quality enterprises can contribute to the Aethir network and increase the existing supply of GPUs."
On the Aethir platform, enterprises and developers can rent high-performance computing resources from the provider network for large-scale training of AI models or rendering digital content. Its economic system is driven by the network's native token ATH, which designs an innovative staking platform based on Ethereum and uses Arbitrum to make fast payments to computing resource providers and checker nodes. The ATH token is also the driving force for governance, staking and security in the Aethir ecosystem.
Backed by renowned investors including Framework Ventures, Merit Circle, Hashkey, and Animoca Brands, Aethir is at the forefront of decentralized computing innovation. Through Aethir's innovative staking program, anyone can participate in the security and growth of the world's largest distributed GPU network. Starting today, anyone can participate in two launch staking pools: ATH Gaming and ATH AI. By staking in ATH Gaming, stakers will also be rewarded with native crypto tokens from Aethir's gaming partners, while using the ATH AI pool has additional rewards from Aethir's AI partners. ATH holders can use both pools and allocate their ATH into both pools to receive additional rewards from game and AI partners, including IO.net, KIP Protocol, CARV, Crush Protocol, Deverse World, Rivalz Network, and more.
Aethir 's vision is to significantly increase the availability of high-end GPU computing resources, thereby further stimulating global innovation. Eliminate dependence on centralized cloud service providers and unlock new economies of scale by leveraging a global, decentralized, enterprise-grade GPU computing network to provide access and rewards to all ecosystem contributors. By leveraging a scalable, secure, and cost-effective network, Aethir transforms the tech industry’s “new gold” into a broadly accessible resource.
