The AI builders of today need access to reliable, scalable, and cost-effective GPU compute to launch industry-shaping innovations that are changing users’ lives around the world. Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud specializes in supporting AI, Web3, and gaming enterprises with versatile, premium GPU compute required to develop and power ambitious AI solutions. Botanika’s full-stack data infrastructure layer for storage, AI, and DePIN is joining Aethir’s EcoDrop initiative, bringing exciting benefits to the community. 

The Botanika team recognizes the role of Aethir’s community in powering DePIN innovation, which is why it decided to provide exclusive EcoDrop rewards for our loyal Aethirians. 

As part of the partnership, Botanika’s decentralized storage and computing infrastructure layer will utilize Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud to enhance network performance and foster AI innovation through Aethir’s global DePIN ecosystem. 

Botanika’s exclusive EcoDrop rewards for the Aethir community will reward Aethir Edge device operators, Checker Node holders, and ATH stakers, targeting key community groups with post-TGE rewards in Botanika’s upcoming native token.

Introduction to Botanika and Aethir’s Partnership

Botanika is a visionary AI-focused full-stack data infrastructure layer that empowers builders with the resources needed to launch next-level Web3 AI solutions. The Botanika ecosystem is multifaceted, comprising NURA AI, Hoa Sen, and Nimbus. 

Botanika’s decentralized storage and computing AI infrastructure provides much-needed Web3 AI solutions that complement Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud. Together, the two companies form a versatile AI infrastructure powerhouse, enhancing the global DePIN ecosystem.

NURA is an ultra-personalized AI assistant that runs locally, keeping data fully private and always under the user’s control. NURA generates synthetic data for AI training, protecting user privacy while enhancing the accuracy of recommendations. It’s mobile-optimized, voice-activated, and continues to evolve and grow through automatic firmware updates, empowering users with the latest AI Agent models to advance even further.

Hoa Sen is Botanika’s next-gen standard for transmission and redundancy. It optimizes storage and reduces latency by smartly routing sharded data to the best local nodes, creating a self-healing mesh network between local nodes, ensuring performance and uptime during outages or instability. Hoa Sen’s patented tech enables lossless compression, ultra-low latency, and real-time callback for seamless data access at scale.

NIMBUS is Botanika’s proprietary consumer-grade DePIN device, which allows anyone to join the ecosystem and earn cryptocurrency rewards in Botanika’s upcoming token. Users can engage in hassle-free crypto mining by providing online storage, a completely passive process. It utilizes smart routing and on-chain proofs, providing decentralized, encrypted storage services to Botanika’s clients.

The Botanika ecosystem perfectly complements Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud. While Botanika offers innovative storage and data infrastructure for AI builders, Aethir’s DePIN stack provides cost-effective, high-performance GPU computing needed to launch the AI innovations of the future.

Eligibility Criteria for Botanika EcoDrop Rewards

Botanika’s EcoDrop rewards are reserved for Aethir Edge operators, Checker Node holders, and ATH stakers.

Eligible Aethir community members:

  1. Aethir Edge device operators with more than three active devices will be rewarded on a pro rata basis according to the number of devices held.
  2. Aethir Checker Node holders.
  3. ATH stakers who staked at least 5000 ATH in the ATH-AI pool for a period exceeding six months.

The EcoDrop rewards will be available for claiming after Botanika’s token generation event. 

Aethir and Botanika Driving AI Innovation Together

Botanika’s full-stack AI infrastructure layer provides much-needed services for AI builders, including storage and real-time AI assistance. Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud aligns perfectly with Botanika’s services, providing high-performance GPU compute for AI development and innovation.

The Aethir DePIN ecosystem comprises over 435,000 GPU Containers, distributed across 93 countries and more than 200 locations worldwide. This includes 67,000+ Aethir Edge cloud computing devices for localized data processing. All compute in Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud is community-owned and operated by independent Cloud Hosts who earn ATH for their services. 

Checker Nodes ensure that all GPU Containers offer the same, premium-quality service to Aethir’s enterprise clients at all times. There are 91,000+ active Checker Nodes, with most of them owned by the community and earning ATH rewards daily. The role of ATH stakers is also critical to the Aethir ecosystem because all compute in Aethir’s DePIN stack is staked with ATH.

Botanika’s AI infrastructure acknowledges the Aethir community’s role in powering the only enterprise-grade decentralized GPU cloud on the market. That’s why Botanika joined Aethir’s EcoDrop initiative, showing appreciation for the thousands of community members who power the Aethir DePIN stack daily.
