Aethir operates a distributed cloud of enterprise-grade GPUs, including high-end NVIDIA H100s, contributed by partners worldwide and coordinated through a token-incentivized DePIN model. The network targets AI compute and cloud-gaming workloads, offering GPU containers that customers can rent for model training, inference, and real-time rendering. Aethir differentiates by focusing on enterprise reliability and scale, reporting hundreds of thousands of GPU containers and over a billion compute hours delivered to paying clients. The native ATH token aligns incentives for GPU providers (checkers and miners) and is used for settlement. Founded by operators with backgrounds in cloud gaming and infrastructure, Aethir has positioned itself as one of the larger revenue-generating compute DePINs and has launched a $100M ecosystem fund to back AI and gaming projects building on its infrastructure.
