iExec, the Trust Layer for DePIN and AI, our ecosystem partner and a member of the AI Unbundled Alliance, is leveraging Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud to pioneer innovation with Confidential AI computing. As our long-term partner and a company that has been building in Web3 since 2016, iExec is fully aligned with the decentralized Ethos of Web3. The team is focused on restoring trust and decentralization in AI through the integration of Confidential AI products and decentralized, Web3 operating mechanics. Aethir’s distributed cloud computing model aligns perfectly with iExec’s dedication to building trustworthy, decentralized AI.
iExec is demonstrating to the world that AI can handle data safely, without compromising privacy, and that it can enhance the everyday lives of users worldwide. An essential part of this process is decentralizing the GPU sourcing itself, without compromising uptime, and at significantly lower costs to iExec and its clients. With Aethir joining iExec as a computing provider partner, we're creating a scalable, decentralized compute foundation for Confidential AI together.
iExec and Aethir have already established a strong relationship aimed at fostering trust in the AI sector through iExec becoming an integral part of the AI Unbundled Alliance. Together, we are helping drive the Web3 AI space toward mass expansion based on trust and decentralization. We envision a future where people can utilize AI without worrying about unauthorized data access or the leakage of sensitive personal information to third parties.
While iExec provides builders with Confidential AI computing, Aethir is the compute backbone that supports our partners’ vision with premium GPU services. By combining Aethir’s H100 GPU compute with iExec’s trusted TEEs infrastructure, we unlocked the potential for running high-performance, confidential AI workloads at scale without compromising on decentralization or security.
iExec equips developers with privacy-first tools to build and monetize trusted AI applications. This partnership enables a confidential, monetizable AI pipeline, where training data, models, inference, and results are encrypted in use and protected by TEEs.
Aethir provides the GPU compute. iExec secures the process with privacy-by-design governance. Together, we enable decentralized AI that’s scalable, secure, and ready for real-world use. It also sets the stage for AI Agents that act on private data across decentralized services securely and autonomously.
Aethir’s enterprise-grade GPU-as-a-service infrastructure provides unique cloud computing support to key partners, such as iExec, offering reliable, secure, and highly scalable compute resources. Our decentralized GPU cloud is a cost-effective alternative to big-tech cloud providers, who charge high service fees because they struggle with scalability and low GPU utilization rates. Aethir’s DePIN stack circumvents common centralized cloud issues with the power of distributed GPU infrastructure.
iExec’s Trust Layer for DePIN & AI
iExec is leading the way for Confidential AI computing, with its Trust Layer for DePIN & AI, demonstrating how AI development can be safe for data and privacy. All of iExec’s products are designed to provide privacy-first services across a wide range of AI-powered use cases. The iExec ecosystem is powered by RLC, its native token, which stands for “Run on Lots of Computers”.
- iExec Data Protector: Allows users to securely share and monetize data without revealing the data itself.
- iExec Web3mail: Enables users to send privacy-preserving emails to registered Ethereum accounts.
- iApp Generator: Used for building and deploying iExec apps with TEEs on command lines.
- iExec Web3Telegram: Created for privacy-preserving messaging on Telegram.
All of these exciting products leverage AI mechanics, which depend on high-performance GPUs to facilitate AI workloads. Aethir’s decentralized cloud is the powering force behind iExec’s innovative AI products, which are transforming the way developers create and launch AI applications.
iExec Use Case: Confidential Agents
iExec’s Confidential Computing solution enables developers to launch agents with end-to-end privacy. From logic to monetization, the entire pipeline runs encrypted and secured by TEEs. Now powered by Aethir’s GPU network, these agents can scale faster, running intensive workloads up to five times quicker through iExec’s new GPU Workerpools.
Why Did iExec Choose Aethir?
“Aethir provides the compute muscle needed for AI agents, while iExec’s TEE architecture ensures everything runs with privacy and confidentiality. This collaboration is about scale and trust. It’s also part of our broader plan to expand and decentralize the Workerpool network by onboarding partners who align with our Confidential Computing standards.”
Ricardo Kanaan, Ecosystem Manager at iExec
Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud is the only enterprise-grade distributed computing infrastructure provider on the market. Our GPU network has over 430,000 premium GPU Containers, including NVIDIA H100s, H200s, and GB200s, distributed across 94 countries worldwide.
We offer unbeatable pricing to our clients for the most powerful, high-performance GPUs, which is why iExec chose Aethir as its compute provider. Aethir supplies state-of-the-art NVIDIA H100s for iExec’s Confidential AI computing platform, ensuring uninterrupted and scalable AI computing for iExec’s Trust Layer.
iExec chose Aethir because we can provide NVIDIA H100 GPUs at prices that centralized clouds can’t compete with. Since our GPUs are globally distributed and we don’t use hyperscale data centers with excessive maintenance costs, we can offer significantly lower prices than our centralized competitors. This is extremely important for Web3-native AI enterprises, such as iExec. Furthermore, Aethir can seamlessly scale GPU allocations, catering to iExec’s growing user base, ensuring the company can easily onboard new cohorts of users without fear of GPU compute power shortages.
We can efficiently service AI and gaming enterprises worldwide by pooling compute resources from multiple locations and channeling processing power directly to our clients. Unlike centralized cloud services such as AWS or Google Cloud, Aethir employs a decentralized operating model that can allocate additional GPU capacity to clients in real time. With Aethir, there aren’t any supply chain bottlenecks or unexpected price increases due to geopolitical turmoil and tariff changes. Our partnership with iExec provides a decentralized and trusted foundation for securely running intensive AI computations.
Supporting iExec’s Confidential AI Services with Premium GPU Computing
The AI industry is rapidly evolving, and it requires enterprise-grade GPU computing to scale effectively. With GPU prices increasing and centralized cloud providers charging hefty service fees, Aethir offers a viable, cost-effective, and reliable cloud computing solution.
Our decentralized GPU infrastructure is easily deployed and connected to any type of AI enterprise, without hidden costs and vendor lock-in.
