Aethir EcoDrop: New Benefits for Aethir Nodes

Aethir’s Mainnet, along with our ATH utility token, was launched yesterday, and today, June 13, we already have a bunch of new surprises for the Aethir community. We announced two weeks ago that six of our exclusive ecosystem partners are conducting airdrops to Aethir Checker Node holders. The community was delighted by the news, but we’ve also said it was just the beginning of various ecosystem benefits and surprises awaiting Checker Node holders. Aethir EcoDrop isn’t a one-off event. It’s going to be a regular occurrence of massive benefits for our community from across the Aethir ecosystem. 

We are staying true to our word and announcing additional new airdrops and benefits from the 100+ partner-strong Aethir ecosystem.
