Opportunity

• 15% of the Total Supply distributed to the node operators, vesting is linear over 4 years.
• An opportunity for passive rewards in $ATH
• Opportunity to get access to Tier 4 and Tier 5 nodes prior to significantly higher tiers being available on the public market.
• Top Web3 VCs like Animoca Brands, Big Brain Holdings and Hashkey Group are invested.
• Validate computing work performed by Containers, accumulating $ATH token as reward. There will be 15% of $ATH Total Token Supply being distributed to Checkers.

Why run a Aethir node?

The Aethir Network is a unique digital system that combines technology and economy. It’s like a bustling city where different players (miners, developers, users, token holders, and the Aethir DAO) come together to make everything work smoothly. Unlike usual blockchain networks, Aethir Network uses a special way to operate. Here, the nodes do two main jobs:

• Proof of Rendering Capacity: Every 15 minutes, a group of these nodes is randomly chosen to validate transactions (like checking if everything’s in order). The more they have invested (in terms of tokens), the better their service quality, and the less often they’ve been chosen before, the more likely they are to be picked.
• Proof of Rendering Work: While working, their performance is closely monitored to ensure quality. The network makes sure that users get the best possible service, adjusting resources based on demand and location.

The Benefits of Running a Node

Running a node on Aethir contributes to the decentralisation of cloud compute and earns rewards from being a network participant. The first type of node in the Aethir network that will be made available is the checker node, a node for any user to operate to help in the verification of the uptime, latency, quality of service, and computational power provided by other node participants in the future.

The Aethir token

The Aethir Token, $ATH, is central to Aethir’s ecosystem, acting as the primary currency for transactions within Aethir. This includes: facilitating payments for AI applications, cloud gaming and virtualized compute.

$ATH will also be a core driver of governance, staking, security and quality assurance.

Note that this sale is not for the $ATH token, but to purchase a (NFT) license to run a Checker Node. The NFT (Checker Node) is non transferable for the first year.

How will node rewards be distributed?

Nodes will accrue rewards over a period of 4 years.

What rewards will I receive?

Node rewards are received in veATH tokens.

• 10% of the token supply rewards will be distributed linearly.
• 5% of the token supply rewards distributed quarterly and performance-based (bad performing nodes will receive less than nodes that keep online consistency).
