Aethir and GameSwift: Driving Innovation in Web3 Gaming

News

Aethir is partnering with GameSwift, a leading one-stop gaming ecosystem that unites all aspects of the gaming industry from game inception to launch. The GameSwift ecosystem comprises four key pillars: Modular Chain, Web3 Infrastructure, Platform and Launcher, and Gaming Studio. These pillars allow game developers to build, launch, and integrate Web3 features into their gaming projects.  Aethir can smoothly facilitate instant play experiences and mass onboarding of users worldwide into any gaming project or platform that leverages GameSwift's services. Now, gaming titles from the GameSwift Store that need cloud gaming services have quick access to Aethir’s decentralized cloud infrastructure.

Our edge computing network can efficiently reach game developers and players, regardless of their physical location. Together with GameSwift, we are not just building the Web3 gaming ecosystem of tomorrow but also shaping the future of gaming. Thanks to the tech integration between GameSwift’s aggregator Platform and Aethir’s cloud gaming platform, our cloud computing services are now available to the whole GameSwift community. 

Blockchain technology is here to stay, rapidly becoming a vital part of the gaming industry. Gaming is evolving, and blockchain-based Web3 innovations are becoming more popular than ever because they offer gamers a whole new suite of exciting experiences. NFT mechanics, play-to-earn features, and crypto wallet connectivity, paired with cutting-edge graphics and immersive gameplay, are just the beginning. The synergy between Aethir and GameSwift is primed for the future evolution of the gaming industry. Our partnership is a true integration of two ecosystems set on bringing groundbreaking innovations to Web3 gaming.

Aethir's ample supply of over 80,000 top-shelf GPUs, with an additional fleet of 3000+ NVIDIA H100s, is up to the task of supporting GameSwift in its ambitious endeavor to lead the evolution of blockchain-based gaming. Aethir Edge, our state-of-the-art consumer-grade cloud computing hardware device, will play a key role in powering gaming projects within the GameSwift ecosystem. The Aethir Edge device allows anyone to become a cloud computing service provider in the Aethir network and facilitates premium cloud computing power to gamers around the world. Our Aethir Edge devices are distributed to community members worldwide, thus creating a true edge computing network that can efficiently reach cloud gamers regardless of their physical location. For their role in the Aethir ecosystem, Edge device owners earn ATH rewards. Edge combines powerful computing, exclusive earnings, and decentralized access in one device — unlocking the true potential of DePIN. Aethir Edge creates a win-win situation for GameSwift's gaming ecosystem, Edge holders, and the Aethir community.

GameSwift aims to supercharge Web3 gaming innovation with its modular chain, the first gaming and AI-oriented blockchain joining the Superchain ecosystem. Our DePIN stack and GameSwift's modular gaming blockchain are a perfect fit. Both companies understand blockchain technology's immense potential for the future of gaming. 

While GameSwift has the gaming industry know-how, Aethir's GPU cloud specializes in AI and gaming workloads. The GameSwift infrastructure enables users to seamlessly access the Superchain from any place and any major blockchain network while simultaneously providing interoperable cross-chain data transfer. 

GameSwift's modular blockchain brings high-speed transactions, ultra-low gas fees, and reliant network infrastructure, which creates the perfect environment for any gaming protocol launching on the GameSwift Chain. Their suite of gaming products facilitates implementing blockchain technology and sharing in-game resources for game developers, allowing players to enjoy their gaming experience to the fullest. The GameSwift Chain provides players with a seamless user experience and the most accessible onboarding process in the entire blockchain space. While the GameSwift Chain is currently in the testnet environment, GameSwift has confirmed that it will be possible for gaming projects to build their own gaming-optimized Layer3 solutions with GSWIFT as the gas token. At the same time, Aethir's decentralized GPU cloud is here to provide instant cloud gaming access to GameSwift's end users. 

Furthermore, GameSwift's software development kit (SDK) provides game developers the tools to swiftly integrate Web3 features into developing or existing gaming titles. The GameSwift SDK includes a broad range of features including their specially optimized API-based technical environment, along with the Unreal and Unity Game Engine Connector, Easy User Log-in and Gaming Profile Access (GameSwift ID), Advanced Analytics Access (GameSwift Collector), Token and NFT Deployer (GameSwift Platform) and Game Installing, Updating and Launching Application (GameSwift Launcher).

With such a broad range of game development tools, introducing the GameSwift Chain as a cross-chain compatible interoperable network was a logical next step in GameSwift's journey to drive industry-defining innovation in Web3 gaming. Aethir is onboard for the ride with GameSwift, showcasing the critical role of decentralized GPU cloud computing for gaming innovation.
