The use of artificial intelligence has gained popularity in recent months. To meet the growing demand, powerful computers are used. As they are expensive, there is a need to share the graphics capacity of several PCs in a network — Aethir's main solution.
There are computer sharing networks, but few use blockchains, which sets Aethir apart. The idea is to use the graphic processing unit (GPU) of several PCs at the same time for jobs that require large computational capacity.
Enterprise GPUs
An innovation of the platform is to use enterprise-grade GPUs, which tend to have superior processing than traditional PCs. Once connected to the network, they take advantage of the moments when the machines are idle to work together.
This sharing meets the needs of people and companies that cannot afford to buy high-performance chips, such as those produced by giants AMD and Nvidia. With the platform, you can even mine cryptocurrencies, a process that requires ASIC computers.
Aethir is quite flexible: computers connected to the network facilitate and optimize the work of those who develop blockchain applications, create games, software and internet of things (IoT) systems.
Network operation
The ecosystem's DePINs (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) are made up of five main items to make it all work. The first are the owners of the GPU chips that provide the processing power for the cloud.
The second is the containerized Aethir network, which runs and renders applications, scanners, and indexers. The third item is the players and customers who purchase computing services. The fourth item is the Treasury, which makes payments and transactions in coins.
The fifth item is the settlement layer, which records all payments made in ATH token (the system's native currency). It supports the scalability of the system, which allows transactions to be carried out quickly, avoiding long waits.
Use of nodes in the network
Nodes that participate in the network, lending GPU capacity, are rewarded with ATH coin. There are several types, such as scanners, those that integrate the cloud into the ecosystem and help with management, and those that provide processing power.
Additionally, the platform supports cloud gaming. Rendering systems meet the demands of game developers and designers well. You can also run games on the network quickly, without crashes.
Aethir's entire system undergoes constant verification. Every 15 minutes, nodes are analyzed to ensure they are sharing, verifying, and validating effectively. Only then can nodes be rewarded for the work performed.
ATH Token
The network's native token is ATH, the main form of exchange for trading on the platform. In addition to making payments for services offered in the cloud, it is a governance token, which gives voting power in meetings to implement improvements to the system.
It is possible to stake ATH. In fact, this is encouraged to provide security and liquidity to the system. The total supply is 42 billion tokens, with 50% going to rewards by us, 15% going to the ecosystem, 12.5% to the team, 5% to advisors and 6% to airdrops.
