What is the Aethir cryptocurrency?

Aethir is a decentralized GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) cloud computing network built on DePIN infrastructure spanning independent operators in 94 countries. The network supplies on-demand GPU compute for AI inference, AI training, cloud gaming, and AI agent hosting — connecting enterprises that need scalable compute with container providers that contribute GPU capacity. The native token ATH powers payments, compute provisioning, node operations, and DAO governance. Aethir also ships managed products like Aethir Claw, an AI agent hosting solution with isolated VPS environments.

How does Aethir's DePIN GPU compute network work?

Aethir separates compute supply from demand. Container providers contribute GPU capacity to the network, while enterprises and developers consume compute on-demand without long-term contracts. Checker Nodes — run by 73,000+ node operators onboarded through the March 2024 node sale — verify service quality and uptime. The architecture routes workloads across distributed operators rather than a centralized cloud, and rewards participants in ATH based on verified contribution.

What is ATH's tokenomics, total supply, and allocation?

ATH has a fixed total and maximum supply of 42,000,000,000 tokens (42 billion), hard-capped with no additional minting. The largest allocation bucket is Checker Nodes & Compute Providers at 55% (21.84B ATH), reflecting the DePIN incentive model that rewards infrastructure operators over insiders. Team holds 12.5% (5.25B ATH), Investors 11.5% (4.83B ATH), DAO Treasury 7.5%, Ecosystem Development 7.5%, and Airdrop 6% (2.52B ATH). The token is ERC-20 on Ethereum, bridged to Arbitrum One and Solana.

How does Aethir's vesting and unlock schedule affect investors?

Aethir's TGE occurred on 2024-06-12. According to DropsTab vesting data, the schedule spans 4,024 individual unlock events across 9 allocation buckets — a granular daily emission pattern rather than large cliff expirations. At TGE, Ecosystem Development unlocked 1.5B ATH (3.75%) and Airdrop 630M ATH (1.5%); DAO Treasury and Ecosystem Development then release roughly 2.15M ATH each per day on linear schedules. The 55% provider allocation and the 12.5% team bucket represent the primary supply-overhang risk as unlocks continue.

Who funded Aethir and what does the fundraising signal?

Aethir raised across three rounds. The Node Sale Round (March 2024) raised approximately $153.8M by distributing 73,000+ Checker Node licenses at $0.004092 per token. The pre-Series A (July 2023) brought cumulative funds raised to over $9M at a $150M valuation, led by HashKey Capital, Sanctor Capital, Merit Circle, and CitizenX, with Animoca Brands and Maelstrom participating. The Seed Round (January 2022) was led by Framework Ventures and Infinity Ventures Crypto. Investor allocation is capped at 11.5% collectively, limiting concentration risk.

What did Aethir's airdrops require to qualify?

Aethir ran two airdrop campaigns, both ended. The Aethir Cloud Drop (ended 2024-05-28) was the primary community distribution via airdrop.aethir.com — participants earned badges by completing tasks and holding membership in selected communities including Mocaverse, Azuki, AI Arena, and Parallel. The OKX Trading Volume Airdrop (2024-06-12 to 2024-07-04) rewarded users based on ATH trading volume on OKX, coinciding with the TGE listing. Both campaigns preceded ATH's public market debut.

How widely is ATH available to trade on exchanges?

ATH trades across a broad surface of spot CEXs, derivative venues, and DEXs. Per DropsTab data, top-tier spot venues include Coinbase (ATH/USD), OKX, Bybit, Kraken, Upbit, Gate, MEXC, and KuCoin, with fiat pairs spanning USD, EUR, KRW, TRY, and IDR. Perpetual futures list on Binance Futures, OKX Futures, Bybit Futures, and Kraken Futures. DEX liquidity spans Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana via Uniswap V3, Meteora, and Raydium. Liquidity risk is low given the breadth of venues.

Is ATH a coin or a token?

ATH is a token, not a native coin. Aethir does not operate its own L1 blockchain; the asset is an ERC-20 token issued on Ethereum (contract 0xbe0ed4138121ecfc5c0e56b40517da27e6c5226b), then bridged to Arbitrum One and Solana. DropsTab classifies ATH under the DePIN, Blockchain Service, Infrastructure, and Artificial Intelligence categories. The token denomination reflects that Aethir runs as a protocol on host chains rather than as a base-layer settlement asset.
