Ethereum will launch a decentralized cloud network on the Ethereum mainnet
Aethir, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) provider, has announced the launch of a decentralized cloud computing network on the Ethereum mainnet.
Enterprises, data centers, other cloud providers, and cryptocurrency mining operators can contribute idle GPU resources to ATR's network of GPU-as-a-service solutions.
Co-founder Mark Ryden emphasized the importance of the Mainnet launch,
“By providing a scalable framework to redistribute idle computing resources, we can drive more innovation in the fast-growing AI, ML, and cloud gaming domains. On the mainnet, high-end enterprises can contribute to the Ethereum network and expand the reach of existing GPU offerings.”

Ether network functionality and encryption
Enterprises and developers can rent computing resources from Aether's network of providers to help train artificial intelligence (AI) models or deliver digital content at scale.
Through its native ATH token, Aethir uses Ethereum for its pricing capabilities and Arbitrum (ARB) community rewards for calculating providers for faster payments and check nodes to enforce quality assurance.
Aethir's ATH streamlines network management, memory processes, and the security of the DEP ecosystem.
Speaking to Cointelegraph, Rydon explained the encryption controls in place to secure data transmission:
“We use full-channel encryption technology to ensure that only users can transmit and view data while using it, and no third party can crack and unlock it. The encrypted channel closes at the end of service to keep user data completely secure.”

Testnet success, mainnet security
Aether's testnet ranks over 500,000 users with $146 million in node sales and support from Nvidia, Super Micro, HPE and Foxconn.
On the topic of how Aether ensures data security and privacy, Rydon told Cointelegraph:
“In terms of network security, such as network access control and anti-DDoS, a special hardware firewall protects data security. The customer is always the owner and user of the data, and the cloud platform ensures its security and confidentiality. This data is safe not only for external visitors, but also for internal visitors. And it's mysterious.

Un-DePIN-ing Web3 Architecture
The DePIN narrative continues to spread in the Web3 space, where the technology has been around for several years and is gaining momentum.
Speaking about DePIN's role in Web3, Rydon said:
“The DPin architecture itself has good high availability and fault tolerant basic capabilities. Distributed computing power makes the service node problem too centralized, resulting in insufficient single point service capacity and low fault tolerance.
DePINs allow individuals with the potential to disrupt Big Tech and liberate the internet to contribute their own energy or resources and be rewarded with micropayments.
