Innovative AI use cases require reliable and scalable high-performance GPU computing to power exciting innovations, such as advanced AI agents, generative AI art, powerful large language models (LLMs), and AI-enhanced creative tools.

Aethir provides the computing power needed to create the AI innovations of tomorrow, which are changing industries and the everyday lives of people around the world. Sogni’s vision has always been clear: creative AI should be fast, affordable, and run on hardware owned by the community, not locked-down server farms.

Sogni saw that vision reflected in Aethir and its contributor base, where everyday users earn by serving GPU power to the world. Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud is a globally distributed compute powerhouse focused on providing enterprise-grade compute services for AI and gaming companies at scale. Stakers play a key role in supporting the daily operations of Aethir’s decentralized cloud and the growth of its flourishing AI ecosystem. Sogni will conduct an exclusive airdrop for Aethir’s ATH-AI pool stakers and Aethir Edge holders,  providing exciting benefits within Sogni’s Creative AI platform.

Choosing Aethir and its AI and Edge pool stakers for an airdrop was an easy call for Sogni. Rewarding members of the ATH-AI staking pool with Sogni-generated NFTs called Sogni Supernet passports feels like closing an elegant loop, giving those who uphold decentralized computing a piece of what Sogni is building: a decentralized creative economy, supported by Aethir’s high-performance GPU cloud  

“By directing the NFT drop to a community of stakers supporting workloads on thousands of distributed GPU containers, we’re rewarding the very people who prove every day that open infrastructure is more scalable, cost-effective, and creator-friendly.” Mauvis Ledford, CEO and Co-Founder of Sogni.

Sogni Supernet Passport: An NFT that looks like the partnership

Instead of handing out a simple promo code, Sogni is airdropping a Sogni Supernet passport packed with real perks for Aethir’s most dedicated community members: skip the queue during peak hours, pay less for Spark credits, and join an invite-only Discord lounge. But in addition to fast-lane access and render credits discounts, Sogni Supernet passport holders are the chosen ones to claim a share of Sogni’s $100,000 worth of SOGNI tokens!

Sogni’s Creative AI Platform: Freedom to Create, Power to Earn

Sogni is an open-source, decentralized creative AI platform built for artists, builders, and prompt fanatics who believe AI shouldn’t live behind paywalls or centralized servers. At the heart of it all is the Sogni Supernet: a DePIN-powered “people’s network” where anyone can contribute idle GPUs to speed up AI image generation for the whole ecosystem. 

Since launching Mainnet on July 2, 2025, alongside the listing of SOGNI token on Kraken, Gate.io, MEXC, and Aerodrome (with IguanaDEX on Etherlink coming soon), Sogni migrated over 81,000+ users, activated 474+ Workers, and surpassed 132 million renders. All powered by the Supernet. Testnet wasn’t small either: 380,000 users, 900+ GPU contributors, and 120 million+ renders paved the way. 

With apps on Mac (Sogni Studio), iOS (Sogni Pocket), and Web (Sogni Web), and rewards flowing to both creators and infra providers, Sogni is a living creative economy where ownership, speed, and fairness finally click, with way more brewing BTS to expand it further on-chain.
