Aethir recently announced the launch of its services on Sophon’s ZK chain, and now Aethir and Sophon are working together to provide the Aethir community with a solution to stake Liquidity ATH (stATH) on Sophon’s staking platform and receive additional rewards on top of existing native Aethir staking returns.

Sophon is a modular Rollup built with zkSync technology for gaming and other scenarios. As zkSync's Layer 2, Sophon is tailored for high-throughput applications such as artificial intelligence and gaming. Since Aethir's decentralized GPU cloud focuses on AI and gaming workloads, the two ecosystems are a perfect fit to support large-scale Web3 innovation.

Now, Aethir community users can benefit from liquidity staking ATH (stATH) through the cooperation between the two parties - if users obtain ATH through the Aethir airdrop event, or purchase some ATH on one of the 15+ cryptocurrency exchanges that have listed ATH, they can maximize their returns through Aethir’s own staking page and Sophon’s staking platform.

Staking stATH with Sophon

Starting July 9, 2024, users who stake ATH on the Aethir official staking platform can use their liquid staking token stATH on the Sophon platform to earn Sophon Points (SP). These points will be converted into SOPH tokens once the Sophon mainnet goes live and launches its SOPH token.

Users who stake ATH on the native staking platform will receive liquid staking tokens, stATH, which will allow ATH stakers to maximize returns by depositing their stATH into the platforms of Aethir ecosystem partners.

Sophon is the first partner of Aethir to introduce the stATH use case, allowing users to deposit stATH and earn Sophon points (SP). In this way, the Aethir community can obtain both ATH staking income on the platform and SP on the Sophon platform by staking stATH.

How to stake stATH on Sophon?

The staking service is designed with a simple and smooth user experience in mind. Staking stATH on the Sophon staking page is very simple, and users are advised to check Sophon’s staking platform documentation for detailed information.

1. Go to Sophon’s official staking platform and connect the crypto wallet you used to stake ATH and receive stATH.

2. Select the “Farm” option to go to the available staking pools.

3. Select the stATH staking pool.

4. Click “Deposit” and enter the amount of tokens you want to stake. Make your deposit and view your accumulated SP points.

Through the above simple steps, users can use stATH to earn SP points rewards before the SOPH token launched on the Sophon platform.
