The Aethir node sale is slated for mid-March.
The previous XAI node sale, supported by the Impossible Finance incubator, demonstrated the market’s strong appetite for new forms of participation in tokenomics, offering substantial returns on initial investments.
Aethir aims to sell up to 100,000 nodes, with a test network deployed on Arbitrum.
What is Aethir?
Aethir is a decentralized cloud provider of GPUs, offering:
- 20 times more GPUs than the RNDR network.
- 45 times more teraflops (computational power) than the Akash network.
- 31 times more infrastructure capital allocated than Akash Network and RNDR Network combined.
- Over 3,000 H100 AI GPUs accessible via the Aethir platform.
- Confirmation of an additional >50,000 H100 GPUs arriving within the next six months.
Client Base:
Aethir has secured multi-year contracts worth over $20M, including:
- The world’s largest telecommunications company.
- The world’s largest game development studio plus 10 AAA games.
- WellLink, the largest cloud gaming company with over 64 million MAU.
Aethir’s projected revenue for the first quarter matches all other DePin projects combined.
The project has been accepted into the Nvidia Inception program.
Investors:
Investors include Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes), Mirana Ventures (Bybit), Animoca Brands, Hashkey, Merit Circle, and others.
The node sale on March 20th offers the opportunity for anyone to participate and become an independent node operator, validating work performed by GPU resource containers. 15% of $ATH tokens will be distributed among node Checkers.
Aethir is launching a special round for its Checker nodes (similar to XAI Sentry nodes) through Impossible Finance, starting in mid-March.
The sale’s FDV is $166M, but the DeFiScamCheck referral link offers a discounted price of $150M.
The token name, $ATH, is a nod to crypto culture.
For buyers using the blog’s referral link, there will be a draw for the payment of one node and three prizes of 0.1 ETH each.
