Over the past two years, Aethir has successfully built and launched a decentralized enterprise-level GPU service platform designed for artificial intelligence and gaming scenarios. Aethir recently announced its core business model and annual revenue report, with annual recurring revenue of $36 million.
Aethir's decentralized cloud infrastructure includes over 3,000 NVIDIA H 100s and more than 43,000 high-end GPUs, designed to support demanding AI workloads and help companies develop platforms that require massive GPU resources. Its customers are in the fields of AI, gaming, Web2 and Web3.
With the foundation of Aethir's DePIN ecosystem now established, Aethir will enter the next expansion phase of its development. Aethir has officially launched the "New Horizons" program, which will introduce more GPU providers.
During this phase, Aethir will expand decentralized computing capabilities and massively scale Aethir's GPU network to meet the growing demand for GPU computing in AI, machine learning, and gaming. The Aethir distributed GPU cloud will introduce a wider variety of GPUs and expand in more infrastructure centers, which will enable Aethir to serve enterprise customers more efficiently. Aethir will expand global GPU coverage, driven by a decentralized operating model and secured by Aethir's network of over 91,000 community-owned Checker nodes.
In addition, in order to successfully expand Aethir's GPU network, Aethir will introduce more GPU providers and staking partners to ensure new GPU supply by staking ATH.
New Horizons: Massively Scaling Decentralized Computing
Aethir has launched the "New Horizons" program, which is Aethir's large-scale GPU resource expansion plan to cooperate with more GPU suppliers around the world. Through this program, Aethir welcomes all units that wish to become GPU providers in the Aethir ecosystem to contact Aethir and apply to join Aethir's GPU service network.
Aethir has established a simplified application process so that GPU providers can easily join Aethir's network. Qualified applicants will become part of Aethir's global GPU network and receive ATH token rewards for providing services. To ensure that all GPUs meet Aethir's quality standards, Aethir will publish a list of eligible computing resources, including specific GPU specifications.
Aethir hopes to simplify and streamline the process of adding new GPUs to the Aethir ecosystem, enabling GPU providers of all sizes to seamlessly integrate into Aethir's platform and provide computing power to Aethir's AI and gaming customers.
Aethir Cloud: GPU Provider Portal
To ensure a convenient user experience for all service providers, Aethir will launch the "New Horizons Portal", which will be exclusively open to Aethir's GPU computing providers and is expected to be launched at the end of September 2024. They can easily integrate the portal into their daily operations and manage their computing resource supply in the Aethir network, monitor the activity of computing resources, and manage ATH rewards.
Introducing new staking partners
As Aethir’s GPU computing network expands, Aethir will expand the staking partner ecosystem to simplify the process of supporting GPU providers by staking ATH.
Aethir's decentralized cloud infrastructure requires all computing resources to be staked in proportion to ATH. This means that every active GPU in the Aethir network must be backed by ATH stakes. To achieve this, Aethir is bringing in new staking partners to provide additional ATH stakes, aiming to rapidly increase the speed and scale of computing resources that Aethir can bring in.
The New Horizons initiative is designed to address the growing demand for reliable, secure, and scalable GPU resources in compute-intensive industries. Through the New Horizons initiative, Aethir is opening the door for compute providers to join the Aethir ecosystem at scale.
