Aethir’s $100 million Ecosystem Fund has supported five batches of AI agent grantees, totaling 25+ AI agents. Now, we are onboarding promising RWA startups along with AI agent builders into Aethir’s decentralized cloud ecosystem. 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. Projects like Plume and GAIB are pioneering innovative RWA use cases, such as the tokenization of GPU assets, and introducing new industry categories like RWAfi, the intersection of RWA and DeFi. With over $20 billion in RWAs already on-chain, some analysts estimate that the RWA sector will reach a $500 billion tokenized assets value by the end of 2025. Long-term estimates predict a massive RWA growth potential of up to $30 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030.
Aethir has already established comprehensive partnerships with some of the most innovative RWA innovators in the space. By launching the RWAI Initiative with Plume and the GPU Tokenization Pilot on BNB Chain with GAIB, Aethir is positioning itself at the forefront of RWA innovation.
We are expanding our ecosystem support from AI agents to supercharging RWA development with the power of decentralized cloud computing. Our $100 million Ecosystem Fund is supporting promising AI agents and RWA projects with premium GPU computing grants to equip builders with the processing power needed to launch innovative tokenized asset solutions.
Let’s explore Batch 6 of Aethir’s Ecosystem Fund grantees.
Aethir’s $100M Ecosystem Fund: Providing Compute Grants for RWA and AI Agent Visionaries
These RWA and AI agent projects are receiving direct cloud computing support from Aethir’s $100 million Ecosystem Fund to help them concentrate on building their products without worrying about GPU computing infrastructure.
While they build, Aethir’s GPU network handles the heavy lifting with decentralized cloud computing.

4. PinLink
Company Overview
PinLink is the first RWA-tokenized DePIN marketplace to drive down costs for AI developers and create new revenue for asset owners. The PinLInk RWA-tokenized model reduces costs for building and operating AI platforms, creates more flexible monetization options for DePIN asset owners, and offers opportunities for individuals who do not own DePIN assets to earn a passive income stream. The platform provides increased revenue potential and more flexible monetization options via a new dual income stream from asset rental and RWA ERC-1155 sales.
Collaboration with Aethir
PinLink’s RWA model needs scalable GPU computing resources to power the daily operations of its innovative DePIN marketplace. Aethir’s global GPU network supports PinLInk’s mission with reliable and highly scalable cloud computing resources that ensure PinLink’s users have constant access to the DePIN resources needed to build futuristic AI applications and maximize DePIN rewards.
