TechFlow News — Decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure provider Aethir will launch a public sale of its first network-available node, the "Check Node." $ATH is Aethir's native network token, with 15% of its total supply allocated to reward Check Node operators for validating uptime, latency, service quality, and computing power provided by other node participants.
100,000 Check Nodes will go on public sale on March 20 at 18:00 via the Aethir official website. Each node starts at 0.1259 ETH, with prices increasing incrementally. Nodes can be purchased using wETH on the Arbitrum network, with no purchase limit. Pre-allocated whitelist access will be granted to members of the Aethir community, partners, and KOLs, while remaining limited nodes will be available to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis. Checker Nodes are expected to be installable and operational in Q2 2024.
Aethir is an enterprise-focused distributed GPU cloud service provider that has signed multi-year contracts with the world’s largest telecom company, top game development studios, ten AAA game titles, and WellLink—a cloud gaming company with over 64 million monthly active users. In July 2023, Aethir completed a Pre-A funding round at a $150 million valuation, co-led by Sanctor Capital, Hashkey, Merit Circle, and CitizenX, with participation from Mirana Ventures, Animoca Brands, Momentum6, Big Brain Holdings, Builder Capital, Tess Ventures, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes), and Lapin Digital.
