Supporting RWA Innovators and AI Agent Builders

Aethir’s $100 million Ecosystem Fund has introduced compute support for five batches of AI agent builders, totaling 25+ AI agents. We have recently expanded our ecosystem support to promising RWA projects that are integrating AI agentic functionalities with our sixth batch of ecosystem grantees, showcasing the versatility of Aethir’s DePIN stack. 

The RWA sector has experienced significant growth in the past year, showcasing how real-world utility is becoming increasingly attractive for Web3 and TradFi users alike. Some analysts estimate that the RWA sector will reach a value of $500 billion in tokenized assets by the end of 2025. In batch six of Aethir’s ecosystem grantees, we’ve announced compute support for AGIXBT, Upside OS, Zoo Finance, PinLink, and UnifAI Network. These RWA and AI agent projects are receiving cloud computing grants from Aethir’s $100 million Ecosystem Fund to help them concentrate on building their products without worrying about GPU computing infrastructure.

Onboarding AI and Gaming Trailblazers into the Aethir Ecosystem

The Aethir ecosystem continues to grow across the AI, gaming, Web3, and infrastructure sectors. Industry leaders, innovative builders, and startups recognize Aethir as a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective GPU computing provider.

Apart from batch 6 of our AI agent and RWA grantees, we’ve onboarded numerous additional partners into the Aethir ecosystem. 

DePIN and gaming are a perfect match, which is why GAIMIN’s Web3 ecosystem partnered with Aethir to empower its users with reliable cloud gaming GPU support.

Morph’s on-chain consumer finance layer and dFusion AI’s protocol for creating a community-driven knowledge base backbone for the agentic web are leveraging Aethir’s decentralized computing network. Furthermore, we’ve onboarded gensyn’s machine intelligence network as a compute client into our GPU cloud.

OpenLedger’s AI case study revealed precisely how the company uses Aethir’s DePIN stack to support the latest AI innovations. We’ve joined forces with 0G Labs and CapX AI to launch the Great AI Odyssey and provided compute grants for the Aya AI Hackathon Series participants.

As passionate advocates of AI agentic innovation, we’ve partnered with auto.fun to support ElizaOS’s new AI agent launchpad with premium cloud computing. On the AI agent front, we’ve also teamed up with Holoworld AI to provide high-performance infrastructure enabling real-time agentic computation at scale.

Aethir at Leading Web3 Events: TOKEN2049 Dubai, BUIDL Asia, and Paris Blockchain Week

Some of the most prominent global Web3 conferences happened in April, including TOKEN2049 Dubai, BUIDL Asia, and Paris Blockchain Week. Our team joined numerous events at these conferences, highlighting Aethir’s key strengths as a decentralized GPU infrastructure provider capable of supporting the most innovative AI use cases at scale.

AT TOKEN2049, Aethir was present at more than 20 events, including four of our own high-profile events: deAI Day, Pioneer Connect, deAI Ecosystem VIP Dinner, and Cruise Control, our Web3 AI boat party in Dubai. TOKEN2049 Dubai was one of the most glamorous crypto conferences of the year so far, showcasing the importance of reliable decentralized GPU infrastructure for the future development of Web3, AI, and blockchain-powered platforms.

During BUIDL Asia, we had a chance to discuss the future of decentralized AI infrastructure and exchange opinions with our esteemed colleagues and partners during EASYCON Seoul, Creator House, the AI(Ai Fi), Depin, RWA, Infra Summit, and other exciting events.

Paris Blockchain Week was another opportunity to represent peak DePIN innovation in the form of our globally distributed AI-focused GPU cloud at events such as EASYCON Paris, where our team joined a panel discussion called Investing in Web3 and the current market scenario.

Addressing Key AI and Gaming Narratives

The AI and gaming industries are rapidly evolving, introducing advanced functionalities that increase the overall computing demand of these already GPU-intensive sectors. Aethir closely follows the latest developments and analyzes key narratives with our thought leadership pieces to help the community navigate the latest trends.

In an era of global cloud gaming expansion, Aethir’s decentralized cloud offers an accessible and scalable solution for gaming studios. We’ve explained exactly why Aethir Atmosphere’s cost-effective bare metal gaming GPU services outperform traditional, centralized gaming clouds.

We continued exploring the intersection of AI and humanoid robotics, diving into the details of how GPUs are powering the robotics revolution and we explored the issue of capital-efficient GPU access, the real enterprise AI bottleneck. Also, we explained why Plug-and-Play AI is a myth and how enterprises can seamlessly integrate Aethir’s decentralized cloud into their operational models.

As market uncertainty fluctuates due to geopolitical relations, Aethir continues to closely monitor the latest developments regarding the U.S. administration's tariffs and their impact on the GPU sector. Furthermore, we explored the rise of Neo Cloud and the GPU demand surge in the age of AI discovery. 

The AI sector is evolving so fast that every month carries the potential for new waves of creative innovation, and Aethir’s DePIN stack is here to support builders with premium GPU computing all the way. Aethir’s April recap sums up just how much excitement and fast-paced development is happening in the industry.
