Aethir EcoDrop New Year Edition: Holiday Season Surprises

Community

As we approach the end of 2024, Aethir has prepared various exciting surprises for our fantastic community that supports us throughout our journey to revolutionize the cloud computing sector with enterprise-grade decentralized GPU infrastructure. Aethir’s ecosystem includes over 100 partners from the Web3, AI, and gaming sectors, pioneering groundbreaking innovations in their respective fields. Such innovations require a steady supply of secure, cost-effective, and highly scalable computing power. Aethir’s DePIN stack is a trustworthy partner for all types of AI and gaming enterprises in need of GPU computing resources to launch the platforms and apps of the future. That’s why our ecosystem partners regularly announce special surprises for our community members as part of our monthly EcoDrops.

Aethir’s cloud computing infrastructure is fully decentralized and community-powered by our network of 91,000+ Checker Nodes, which are responsible for maintaining the premium service quality of all GPU Containers in our network. On the other hand, ATH stakers fuel the operational stability of Aethir’s DePIN stack since all cloud computing supplies in our network are backed by staked ATH. 

Our partners recognize the importance of Checker Node holders and ATH stakers for Aethir’s ecosystem. Four of our ecosystem partners are now announcing exclusive benefits for the Aethir community in this year's final EcoDrop edition.

Who Is Preparing Holiday Season Surprises for the Aethir Community?

Let’s look at the exciting lineup of Aethir’s ecosystem partners announcing holiday season surprises for our amazing loyal Aethirians. Context Protocol, KIP Protocol, Showdown, and X Network are all joining Aethir’s December EcoDrop Edition.

Context Protocol is the trust layer for the AI-powered internet. It’s a verified dataspace that enables companies to store and share trusted data in real-time. Context Protocol addresses the rapid fading of the traditional web by providing companies with the tools to distribute verified and real-time data. With Context Protocol’s AI solution, users can store, structure, and verify data and easily integrate with different AI systems to train language models using structured and verified data.

KIP Protocol is a Web3 base layer for AI, unlocking users’ digital property rights and granting them their fair share of the economic benefits of the AI-powered future. With KIP Protocol’s decentralized base layer, developers can launch AI models, apps, and platforms while safely transacting and monetizing their Web3 projects. KIP makes it easy for AI value creators to quickly deploy and monetize their work.

Showdown’s gaming platform unlocks new monetization avenues for leading gaming titles from the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. The Showdown platform’s integration with game servers creates an automated architecture. With Showdown, players can monetize their gaming skills and earn money while playing leading titles like Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, and Lichess. Match results flow directly from official game servers to smart contracts, eliminating any possibility of manipulation and manual intervention. 

X Network is an L2 chain powering stable currencies for AI projects. With X Network, AI projects can issue stablecoins, ensuring financial stability within their ecosystems. X Network uses the Intelligent Currency Infrastructure, a comprehensive, AI-centric financial ecosystem structured around three key components: X Network, XUSD, and project-specific Intelligent Stablecoins for the AI ecosystem. At the core of this infrastructure is a high-performance Layer 2 solution designed for scalability and cross-platform operability.

What Surprises Is the Aethir Community Getting Ahead of the Holiday Season?

All of our December EcoDrop partners have reserved a portion of their native tokens for the Aethir community.

X Network will conduct an exclusive token airdrop for Aethir Checker Node holders. At the same time, KIP Protocol, Showdown, and Context Protocol will contribute to Aethir’s staking pools with their native tokens as additional rewards for our stakers on top of their weekly staking rewards. 

The EcoDrop rewards dynamics entirely depend on our partners’ token generation events timelines and their broader roadmaps.
