Decentralized cloud computing platform Aethir announced a partnership with the interoperability protocol LayerZero. This collaboration aims to integrate omnichain features into the Aethir Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) stack and facilitate its development on the Sophon zero-knowledge (ZK) chain.
LayerZero’s technology facilitates the transfer of data across different blockchains, enabling censorship-resistant messaging and permissionless development through immutable smart contracts. As a verification-agnostic transport layer, LayerZero allows smart contracts on various blockchains to interoperate. It functions as a fully connected mesh network that is independent of any specific infrastructure or blockchain. LayerZero serves as an omnichain protocol, giving developers the flexibility to create unified applications with customizable security parameters. By using LayerZero, developers can send messages across blockchains while maintaining full control over their application’s security. This technology enables the creation and configuration of unified applications, tokens, and data structures, regardless of the underlying blockchain.
Aethir goes Omnichain with LayerZero 
We’re excited to integrate with @LayerZero_Core, a leading interop protocol, to bring omnichain features to the Aethir ecosystem and support our development on the @sophon ZK chain

Aethir’s cloud computing ecosystem supports a range of major AI and gaming companies that utilize Web3 technology across various blockchains in their operations. With the integration of LayerZero, Aethir’s DePIN stack will shift to a multichain network infrastructure, simplifying the migration of Aethir’s GPU infrastructure to Sophon’s ZK chain.
As part of the ATH token migration test phase, the ATH token will be available on ZKsync as an Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT). LayerZero’s omnichain technology will ensure a seamless transition of ATH token rewards for Checker Nodes and Aethir Edge operators from the Arbitrum Layer 2 network to Sophon, while maintaining network stability and providing a smooth experience for the Aethir community.
In addition, Aethir will leverage the Stargate omnichain liquidity protocol as a blockchain bridge to enable users to perform easy cross-chain swaps of ATH tokens. Aethir is currently working on technical integrations to enhance the user experience across all areas of its GPU infrastructure. Stargate will allow users and decentralized applications (dApps) to transfer native assets between blockchains while accessing unified liquidity pools with instant, guaranteed finality. Any transfer initiated on the source chain through Stargate is assured to reach its destination.
