Aethir Announces Node Sale for Its Decentralized GPU Cloud Infrastructure
Singapore-based company Aethir, a leader in decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure, has announced its highly anticipated Node Sale. Aethir is a provider of enterprise-grade GPU-as-a-service focused on AI and gaming. The company’s decentralized cloud computing infrastructure allows GPU providers to connect with enterprise clients who require powerful NVIDIA H100 chips for advanced AI and ML tasks. Aethir’s infrastructure also supports cloud gaming clients and has contracts with major gaming and telecom companies worldwide.
The Native Token: $ATH
The native token for the Aethir network is $ATH, which is used to reward node providers and checkers for maintaining the Aethir Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure network. The network begins its decentralization process with Checker Nodes, which act as validators within the ecosystem. Checker Nodes offer equal opportunities for participation, validation, and earning bonuses for catching bad actors and reducing their rewards.
Why Run a Node on Aethir?
Running a node on Aethir contributes to the decentralization of cloud compute and allows you to earn rewards as a network participant. Aethir offers different types of nodes, and the first one available is the checker node. By operating a checker node, you help verify uptime, latency, quality of service, and computational power provided by other node participants. Aethir is committed to decentralization and community ownership, which is why it allows users to operate checker nodes and play a vital role in the ecosystem.
The Node Sale Details
- 100,000 nodes available in a tiered pricing system
- Nodes will be sold on Arbitrum via a public sale
- Nodes are transferable one year post-sale
- Rewards will be accrued and earned based on vesting logic
- No cap on the number of nodes one can purchase

Exclusive Revenue Opportunities for Node Operators
Node operators on Aethir’s ecosystem have the opportunity to earn up to 15% of the total supply of the Aethir ecosystem over the next four years. These rewards are specifically allocated to checker node operators. Other rewards are set aside for various mining and technical participation roles in the network. By verifying data and service provision, nodes serve as checks and balances for the future mining throughput of AI-enabled processing chips and other computational power.
Tiered Public Node Sale
The node sale on Aethir follows a tiered pricing system, starting at $500 per checker node. The price increases with each tier, offering opportunities for different types of participants. Aethir has reserved nodes for whitelists, including key opinion leaders (KOLs) and members of the Aethir and partner communities. The majority of nodes, however, are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. This ensures broad access and fair participation in Aethir’s journey towards decentralization.
