Aethir and Maitrix Launch AUSD: Stability for Decentralized GPU Infrastructure
Aethir’s decentralized enterprise-grade GPU-as-a-service platform can support advanced AI and gaming workloads with premium GPU computing at scale. The Aethir DePIN stack comprises 400,000+ GPU containers, including 3000+ NVIDIA H100s and H200s, as well as 62,000+ Aethir Edge cloud computing devices. Aethir is constantly onboarding new cohorts of GPU Cloud Hosts to expand network capabilities in the AI agent era, rapidly progressing and introducing increased demand for reliable and scalable GPU computing services. So far, all compute credits in Aethir’s GPU network have been purchased and staked with ATH, the native cryptocurrency token of the Aethir DePIN stack. To enhance network stability and simplify financial transactions for all parties in Aethir’s decentralized cloud ecosystem, we are introducing AUSD, our native stablecoin, built on Maitrix’s cutting-edge platform for intelligent stablecoins. Their expertise in building an intelligent currency system for the Agentic Economy is key in launching AUSD, an intelligent stablecoin for the AI agent era that will add stability and improve utility within the Aethir ecosystem.
Maitrix’s stablecoin model tackles critical challenges in the AI economy, such as price volatility, high transaction costs, and cross-border payment friction. This empowers Aethir to provide a more stable and accessible platform for users worldwide.
AUSD, built on Maitrix’s stablecoin platform, is designed to address the unique payment challenges of Aethir’s decentralized GPU ecosystem. This will unlock new possibilities for AI and gaming developers, paving the way for mass adoption of our platform.
Introducing: AUSD
Aethir is partnering with Maitrix to introduce AUSD, an algorithmic stablecoin designed to bring stability and predictability to our decentralized GPU ecosystem. AUSD is pegged to the US dollar, providing a reliable and efficient payment solution for all users.
The AUSD stablecoin will enhance Aethir’s everyday operations through four key benefits:
Stable Payments for Compute Providers
Compute providers in Aethir’s network, called Cloud Hosts, rely on predictable rewards to provide GPU computing resources to Aethir’s AI and gaming clients. Meanwhile, the ATH token must navigate fluctuating price action, which is typical for cryptocurrency markets. This exposure to market volatility complicates Cloud Host payment structures and deters long-term participation, especially for non-Web3 native GPU compute providers.
Built on Maitrix’s infrastructure, AUSD eliminates price volatility, ensuring compute providers are compensated in a stable currency, increasing trust and participation in Aethir’s decentralized GPU network.
Predictable Costs for Developers
AI developers and gaming companies accessing Aethir’s GPU infrastructure need stability for budgeting and scaling their operations. AI inference, LLM training, and AI agent training require immense GPU computing supplies, and Aethir has the infrastructure to support such AI workloads at scale. In the gaming sector, mass adoption of cloud gaming and Web3 gaming innovations requires access to high volumes of reliable GPU computing resources. However, unstable GPU compute pricing can be a significant adoption barrier for developers.
AUSD provides fixed, predictable pricing, enabling developers to focus on innovation rather than navigating volatile financial systems.
Enhanced Utility for ATH
AUSD is minted through an algorithmic locking mechanism that uses Aethir’s native token, ATH, as collateral. This process increases demand for ATH while introducing AUSD as a stable medium of exchange within Aethir’s ecosystem.
It creates a virtuous cycle where AUSD drives platform utility and stability while ATH benefits from increased adoption and locked supply.
Frictionless Ecosystem Payments
AUSD eliminates the need for intermediaries, fiat conversions, and slow settlement processes. Compute providers and developers can transact seamlessly and instantly within Aethir’s network. A USD-pegged, stable digital currency will expand the Aethir ecosystem as a user-friendly GPU cloud computing solution for AI and gaming enterprises worldwide.
Imagine accessing GPU computing power instantly, without worrying about currency conversions or delays due to outdated payment systems. AUSD makes this a reality, providing a frictionless payment experience for users worldwide.
AUSD Launch
To support Aethir’s ecosystem and enable the adoption of AUSD, Maitrix is launching the AUSD Minting and Staking Protocol on January 27th.
The AUSD Staking Protocol is straightforward to use. It involves two simple steps:
- Minting AUSD: Users lock ATH tokens through Maitrix’s intelligent infrastructure to mint AUSD.
- Earning Rewards: Stakers earn rewards for contributing to the stability and liquidity of the AUSD system.
The launch of AUSD as Aethir’s native stablecoin for the era of Agentic Economy marks a significant milestone for Aethir and the decentralized GPU cloud computing sector. Enterprises looking to purchase compute credits in Aethir’s GPU network will have a stable, straightforward payment solution. At the same time, Cloud Hosts will have much-needed clarity and certainty regarding their service provider rewards with AUSD.
