Aethir’s testnet user base has surpassed 500,000 following the successful completion of a $146 million node sale.
$ATH (Aethir) is now listed on 16 CEXs including OKX, ByBIT, Gate, etc., including heavyweight exchanges such as OKX, Gate.io and Bitfinex. As of press time, the 24-hour trading volume is $234.76M, and the market value has increased by 61.08%. Exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase and Kraken have not yet listed ATH tokens.
Aethir announced on June 12 that its decentralized cloud computing network was 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 and participate in improving the availability of global computing resources; enterprises and developers will be able to access nodes in more than 23 locations on demand to rent high-performance computing resources for training AI models or rendering digital content on a large scale.
CoinGecko shows that the token is up nearly 100% in the last two hours since its launch.

Preface
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, their combination is gradually changing various industries, especially in terms of privacy protection, security and computing power utilization. As an emerging decentralized cloud computing platform, Aethir is gradually becoming a dark horse in the Depin track by optimizing the sharing and use of GPU resources to provide support for high-demand tasks such as AI, machine learning (ML) and cloud games. The following is an in-depth analysis of the Aethir project and a discussion on the advantages of combining AI and blockchain.
1. Advantages of combining AI and blockchain
1. Data Privacy Protection
Current problem: The development of AI requires a lot of data, but privacy issues are a major challenge. Companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Amazon and Walmart have begun to restrict employees from sharing sensitive data with AI.
Blockchain solution: By recording data in a decentralized manner, data owners can control which data is shared and which is not. This transparency and immutability ensures that the source and use of data are traceable and secure. For example, through smart contracts, users can set access rights to data, and only data that meets specific conditions will be shared.
2. Model transparency and traceability
Current problem: Many AI models are currently centralized and lack transparency, making it difficult to verify the fairness and accuracy of the models.
Blockchain solution: Using the transparent and immutable characteristics of blockchain, the entire process of model training can be recorded to ensure the traceability and transparency of model data. This not only improves the credibility of AI models, but also reduces the possibility of human intervention and improves overall efficiency.
3. Computing power sharing and optimization
Current problem: AI training and operation require a lot of computing power, but currently a lot of computing resources are wasted.
Blockchain solution: Through a decentralized computing power sharing platform, users can contribute idle computing resources (such as GPUs) to support AI tasks. This approach not only improves resource utilization efficiency, but also encourages more users to participate through token incentive mechanisms.
2. Introduction to Aethir

Aethir is a decentralized cloud computing platform dedicated to optimizing the sharing and use of GPU resources to support high-demand tasks such as AI, machine learning, and cloud gaming.
main feature
1. Distributed GPU Framework
By connecting independent GPU clusters to create a unified network to meet the processing needs of large-scale AI workloads and other high-demand tasks, this architecture reduces dependence on major cloud providers and increases system elasticity and scalability.
2. Decentralized Ownership
Aethir not only decentralizes resource ownership, but also overcomes geographical limitations to ensure wider accessibility. This distributed infrastructure provides a solid foundation for the evolution and growth of GPU clouds.
3. Resource Pool
Allowing underutilized GPUs to join the Aethir network will form a powerful computing resource sharing pool, reduce costs, and increase the accessibility of global computing resources.

1. Convenient payment
ATH is used to pay for various services on the Aethir network, such as renting GPU resources for tasks such as AI applications and cloud gaming.
2. Governance
ATH holders can participate in platform governance and decide the future development direction of the platform through voting.
3. Staking
Users can stake ATH tokens to support the security and operation of the network and receive additional ATH as a reward.
4. Safety and Quality Assurance
ATH incentivizes network participants to maintain the security and quality of services, ensuring the provision of high-quality computing resources.
4. Token Allocation and Ownership

5. Interpretation of the launch of decentralized cloud computing network on Ethereum mainnet
“By providing a scalable framework to reallocate idle compute resources, we can drive more innovation in the rapidly evolving fields of AI, ML, and cloud gaming,” said Mark Rydon, Chief Business Officer at Aethir. “Now on mainnet, high-quality companies can contribute to the Aethir network and increase access to current GPU supply.”
Aethir launched a decentralized cloud computing network on the Ethereum mainnet, marking the maturity and implementation of its technology and business model. Through this platform, 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 innovation in artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud gaming.
VI. Conclusion
From zero to a billion! Aethir’s $146 million node sale and testnet user base surpass 500,000. The protocol has also received support from industry giants such as NVIDIA and HPE, and is now taking a new step to make its computing power accessible to AI and game studios around the world.
The protocol also offers a staking program that invites users to secure and expand its distributed GPU network. The first staking pools, ATH Gaming and ATH AI, offer rewards in partnership with gaming and AI entities.
The popularity of decentralized public infrastructure networks (DePINs) is rapidly increasing. According to a report by Coingecko, DePINs were the fifth most popular in the cryptocurrency space in the first quarter. In addition, the space is currently one of the top 30 by market capitalization.
The combination of AI and blockchain will become an important direction for future technological development, especially in terms of data privacy protection, model transparency and computing power sharing. As a decentralized cloud computing platform, Aethir provides strong support for AI, machine learning and cloud gaming by optimizing the utilization of GPU resources, reflecting the huge potential of this combination.
