Aethir's GPU infrastructure includes over 43,000 top-tier GPUs, over 3,000 NVIDIA H100s for advanced AI workloads, and over 32,000 Aethir Edge cloud computing devices distributed globally. The Aethir cloud computing ecosystem is supported by its native token ATH, which plays a crucial role as the currency for purchasing computational power in the Aethir DePIN stack. In addition, Aethir Checker Nodes, Aethir Edge device operators, ATH stakers, and cloud hosts can earn ATH token rewards for their contributions to the ecosystem.

With the expansion of Aethir GPU cloud infrastructure, Aethir is meeting the needs of users for the multi-functionality of Cross-Chain Interaction, enabling stakeholders to access more ecosystem services. To achieve this, Aethir is partnering with the full-chain solution LayerZero to help introduce multi-chain functionality into the Aethir DePIN stack, while assisting Aethir in migrating to the Sophon ZK chain.

LayerZero's technology enables applications to transmit data across blockchains, supporting censorship-resistant messaging and permissionless development through immutable smart contracts in a unique way. The LayerZero network is a validation-agnostic transport layer that enables interoperability between smart contracts on different blockchains. It is a fully connected mesh network that is not bound by any infrastructure or blockchain. As a full-chain protocol, LayerZero allows developers to build unified applications using modular security parameters. With LayerZero, developers can send arbitrary messages through Cross-Chain Interaction while maintaining complete control over the security of their applications. This network empowers developers to create and configure unified applications, tokens, and data, unaffected by different blockchains.

Aethir's cloud computing ecosystem includes dozens of mainstream AI and gaming companies, all of which are leveraging Web3 technology for Cross-Chain Interaction in their daily operations. With the help of LayerZero, Aethir's DePIN stack will transition into a multi-chain network infrastructure, simplifying the process of migrating Aethir's GPU infrastructure to the Sophon ZK chain. As part of the ATH migration test phase, the ATH Token will be launched as an On-Chain Fungible Token (OFT) on ZKsync. LayerZero's on-chain technology will ensure a smooth transition of ATH Token rewards for Checker Nodes and Aethir Edge operators from the Arbitrum L2 network to Sophon, while ensuring network stability and a frictionless experience for the Aethir community.

In addition, Aethir will use the full-chain Liquidity protocol Stargate as a bridge to enable users to easily swap ATH Token through Cross-Chain Interaction. Aethir is undergoing multiple technical integrations to improve the user experience in all areas of Aethir's GPU infrastructure. With Stargate, users and dApps can transfer native assets through Cross-Chain Interaction, while also accessing the unified Liquidity pool of the protocol and ensuring instant finality. Stargate ensures that transfers submitted on the original chain can reach the target chain, while the protocol also provides various stake, Liquidity Mining, and Liquidity pool functions, which help improve its stability. This is also the key reason why Aethir chooses Stargate for ATH Cross-Chain Interaction trading.

ATH Token will become a cross-chain interaction asset, providing various user-friendly features in the fiercely competitive global Web3 environment, enabling Aethir's enterprise clients to utilize Aethir's DePIN technology on various blockchains and seamlessly leverage its GPU compute provider network to process AI and gaming workloads. To support the development of the Aethir ecosystem and enable Aethir stakeholders to easily access its cloud computing services, Aethir has decided to leverage LayerZero's solution to drive Aethir's GPU infrastructure towards a multi-chain future.
