What Aethir is

Aethir is the only Enterprise-grade AI-focused GPU-as-a-service provider in the market. It’s a decentralized cloud computing infrastructure that allows GPU providers (containers) to meet Enterprise clients who need powerful H100’s chips for professional AI/ML tasks. Aethir also supports cloud gaming clients with their virtual computing phones and GPU’s with contracts with the world’s largest telecommunication company.

Everything within the Aethir ecosystem will be decentralized and community-owned. The Checker nodes licenses being sold are crucial pieces of the Aethir ecosystem. The Checker node licenses will allow anyone to participate and become an independent node operator that validates the work being performed by the containers (GPU resources).

👉 Aethir is opening a special round for their Checker nodes.

There will be 15% of the $ATH Total Token Supply being distributed to Checkers.
