In just one year since Aethir’s token generation event on 12 June 2024, we’ve built a global decentralized cloud ecosystem that supports over 150 AI, Web3, and gaming partners with premium GPU computing at scale. Aethir’s enterprise-grade cloud computing network is leading the DePIN sector in annual recurring revenue and other key on-chain metrics. We are steadily progressing toward our goal of universal cloud computing, which is available to everyone at reasonable prices in a decentralized, secure, and scalable way.
As our first TGE anniversary approaches, we are unveiling several exciting community campaigns and industry-wide activations to support the Aethir ecosystem’s growth in the coming period. We are also highlighting some of our latest, most innovative product launches, with more to come, showcasing Aethir’s dedication to constant innovation and improvement.
EigenLayer ATH Vault and Checker Node Buyback Program: Major Benefits for the Community
Aethir is bringing ATH utility to the next level with the recently launched pre-deposits for our EigenLayer ATH Vault. This new staking pool is a result of our close collaboration with EigenLayer’s AVS restaking infrastructure. It allows our community to stake ATH and mint eATH (EigenATH) tokens. eATH is a new liquid staking receipt token that accumulates ATH rewards throughout its lifecycle. By minting eATH, stakers directly support our DePIN stack, allowing us to onboard new cohorts of compute providers with staked ATH. Once the staking period ends, users will be able to redeem their eATH for ATH rewards that are derived directly from Cloud Host compute provider fees. The more compute we onboard into Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud, the more rewards will go to eATH holders. With 800+ million ATH staked, the EigenLayer ATH Vault is already our largest staking pool.

We also launched the Checker Node Buyback program, leveraging the eATH token as the buyback currency. Checker Node holders can now sell their node license NFTs back to Aethir Foundation in exchange for eATH tokens and continue earning ATH rewards for the next year until they can redeem their eATH. All eATH tokens will become redeemable on 13th June 2026, and after a 30-day withdrawal period, users will be able to exchange eATH for ATH. During the lock-up period, eATH continues to earn ATH rewards from Aethir’s decentralized cloud ecosystem.

ATH Trading Campaigns on Major Cryptocurrency Exchanges
In cooperation with numerous leading global cryptocurrency exchange platforms, Aethir is running trading campaigns with exciting rewards for the community. This is our way of celebrating the ATH TGE anniversary with community activations across leading exchange platforms. We are immensely proud to receive support from the top crypto exchanges on the market, showcasing the industry’s faith in ATH as a reputable digital currency that’s here to stay.
The individual rules and rewards for the trading campaigns vary depending on the exchange platform in question. Still, they all represent a nice opportunity for users to earn additional benefits while trading.
The campaigns will feature spot trading competitions, futures trading competitions, and other exciting trading events.
So far, our partners from ByBit have gone live with their ATH trading campaign and more exchanges will soon follow, including MEXC, Bitget, Gate.io, and others.
AI Unbundled: Highlighting Cross-Sector Collaboration and Partnerships
We wanted to reach our first TGE anniversary with major ecosystem expansion milestones behind us. The AI Unbundled alliance is one of our most notable accomplishments in fostering cross-sector collaboration and providing hands-on support to AI innovators. It’s a historical alliance of 13 AI, Web3, and infrastructure market leaders focused on supporting visionary AI builders with the resources needed to create the AI innovations of tomorrow. We joined forces with our partners from 0G Labs, Biconomy, ChainGPT, GEODNET, IoTeX, Oasis Protocol, FLock.io, OORT, DeAgent AI, Polyhedra, iExec, and AlphaNeural AI.
Through this alliance, Aethir and our ecosystem partners will deliver an end-to-end infrastructure backbone tailored specifically for AI builders. From compute power to decentralized data solutions and ecosystem investment, AI Unbundled is designed to empower developers at every stage of their journey, from early experimentation to global product deployment.
Airdrop Season 2 Incoming
Remember Aethir Cloud Drop? Season 2 is coming soon.
There’s no better time to announce our upcoming Airdrop Season 2 than while celebrating our TGE anniversary. This season will be focused on rewarding the Aethir community, with a special focus on our stakers, Cloud Hosts, and Checker Node holders. Our community members will be rewarded with eATH tokens during Season 2 of Aethir’s airdrop.
Stay tuned for the Airdrop distribution tokenomics and exact timeline.
Introducing Aethir Tribe: Onboarding Thousands of Community Members as KOL Ambassadors
It’s time to grow Aethir’s community of ambassadors and KOLs at an unprecedented scale. We’re launching Aethir Tribe, a global initiative to onboard thousands of community members into the Aethir ecosystem as our ambassadors and KOLs, championing Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud vision across social media, community channels, and IRL events. Aethir has an amazing community of dedicated followers, users, and ecosystem participants. Through Aethir Tribe, our passionate community members will have a chance to deepen their ties with Aethir’s DePIN stack and become the official voices of universal cloud computing.
The Aethir Tribe initiative’s details will be published soon, along with the exact participation rules and rewards for our loyal community members.
Celebrating a Year of Decentralized Cloud Computing Innovation
At Aethir, we are dedicated to providing industry-leading enterprise GPU solutions in a decentralized, cost-effective, and frictionless manner. The Web3, AI, and gaming landscapes are evolving at a rapid pace, and all of these sectors are incredibly hungry for reliable and scalable GPU computing, which is something that centralized clouds struggle to provide in an affordable and widely accessible way. That’s precisely where Aethir outperforms traditional clouds by providing an innovative solution supporting enterprise growth without supply chain bottlenecks or sudden price surges. ATH is the fuel that powers Aethir’s decentralized cloud.
As our first TGE anniversary approaches on 12 June, our recent launches and upcoming community campaigns are designed to support the next phase of ATH’s evolution.
