Odaily News Aethir announced today the launch of the ACCELERATE strategic initiative, securing access to 10 AI data center sites across the US and Europe, with a total capacity of up to 20 megawatts. According to official disclosures, the total contract value of these sites will exceed $2 billion upon full completion, with an estimated contract value of up to $700 million expected to be finalized by the end of 2026. The sites will support NVIDIA B300 and GB300 clusters, with node scales ranging from 64 to 256 units, and deployment cycles measured in months—unlike the multi-year construction timelines of traditional data centers.Aethir also announced an update to its IDC tokenomics policy, introducing a burn mechanism and a floating platform fee. The Aethir Foundation holds equity in Axe Compute.
AethirClaw has officially launched CARA (Pre-configured Crypto AI Agent), running on Aethir's decentralized GPU infrastructure. Equipped with over 50 skills, it covers core crypto scenarios such as real-time market monitoring, whale wallet tracking, on-chain analysis, social media sentiment monitoring, and project due diligence, and users can use it out-of-the-box without any technical configuration.The platform supports payments via credit card as well as USDT, USDC, and ATH tokens. Aethir also disclosed that it will soon launch a Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) layer, running mainstream open-source large models on Aethir's decentralized GPU infrastructure, and expand multimodal capabilities including text-to-image and video generation.
Decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure platform Aethir confirmed that its Ethereum-related bridge contract was attacked. The team promptly disconnected the affected contract and, in collaboration with major exchanges, blacklisted the hacker’s wallet, limiting losses to under $90,000. Earlier, blockchain security firm PeckShield estimated losses at $400,000. The attacker exploited Aethir’s cross-chain smart contract, AethirOFTAdapter, to transfer stolen funds from BNB Chain to Tron. Aethir stated that its Ethereum mainnet ATH token supply remains unaffected. It plans to release a detailed compensation plan and incident analysis next week and will collaborate with exchanges including Binance, Upbit, and Bithumb to freeze funds. Web3 security platform ZeroShadow is assisting with the investigation. In 2025, Aethir achieved $127.8 million in revenue and deployed over 440,000 GPU containers globally.
