About the project
Aethir’s documentation describes a network in which independent Cloud Hosts provide GPU compute through Containers. The project says applications, for example games, run in these Containers, and the hosts earn $ATH for their services.
Distributed GPU cloud
Aethir’s website describes distributed cloud compute infrastructure that provides on-demand access to enterprise-grade GPUs. It mentions bare-metal GPU cloud services for AI and other compute-intensive workloads.

According to the documentation, the Container is where cloud use takes place: a virtual endpoint that runs and renders an application, for example a game for a player. Containers are provided by independent Cloud Hosts, who earn $ATH for their services.
Source: The Container and Cloud Hosts ↗Requirements for containers
The documentation lists requirements for containers: they must be ready for immediate activation, have the application pre-installed, meet processing and graphics requirements and have sufficient bandwidth. Containers are selected by service quality, latency and cost.
Source: Requirements for containers ↗Compute rewards
The documentation says a large share of the total token supply is dedicated to compute rewards. They are divided into Proof of Rendering Work, paid to containers for completed computing tasks, and Proof of Capacity, paid for readiness to provide compute even without active work. This reflects the project’s documentation and does not state an expected return.
Source: Compute rewards ↗Reward emissions
According to the documentation, compute reward emissions use a decay function: rewards are frontloaded while later participants are still meant to be incentivized. The documentation states that more detailed information on emissions and the decay function will be released later.

The website editors read CMIEON’s archived copies of these sources on 5 November 2026. The copies were captured on 11 September 2026, so the current pages may differ. Aethir’s roadmap and whitepaper had no archived copy and are not used. This date records the source review. This introduction is editorial and is not CORE-verified fact.
