On May 27th, according to official sources, Aethir has officially launched the Checker Node Buyback Program, allowing node holders to sell their Non-Fungible Token licenses to the Aethir Foundation in exchange for eATH (EigenATH) tokens. The program aims to strengthen the Aethir ecosystem by guiding new computing clusters to join Aethir's Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) stack. The buyback price for Checker Nodes will fluctuate based on market conditions and buyback rates, with early participants receiving additional rewards.
The eATH tokens have a one-year lock-up period, during which users will continue to earn ATH rewards, with the exchange period being 30 days after June 13th, 2026. eATH will be used to support Aethir's decentralized cloud computing infrastructure, particularly by guiding new GPU cloud hosts through the EigenLayer's AVS model. Users holding eATH can receive rewards linked to the performance of Aethir's decentralized GPU cloud market. Additionally, eATH holders will be eligible for special rewards in Aethir's future airdrops (second and third seasons) and may obtain instant liquidity through Pendle.
