Update: Luganodes NaaS Console is now live. Aethir Node holders can start delegating and running their nodes.

Luganodes, a leading Swiss-operated enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure provider, is proud to announce its partnership with Aethir, a pioneer in democratizing access to enterprise-grade GPU compute power. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the blockchain industry as it brings together Luganodes' expertise in enterprise-grade non-custodial blockchain infrastructure, with Aethir's mission to revolutionize GPU computing.

Aethir, known for its vast network of globally distributed GPU resources, recently concluded a monumental Checker Node sale, distributing over 71,000 licenses, worth over 37,000 ETH to a thriving community of over 20,000 members. These Checker Nodes play a crucial role in Aethir's DePIN stack, ensuring optimal quality GPU power for AI, machine learning, and gaming applications. Aethir’s DePIN stack is capable of providing a steady flow of enterprise-grade GPU power, even for the most demanding clients in the AI, machine learning, and gaming industries.

With Luganodes' support, Aethir Checker Node license owners now have the option to utilize NaaS (Node-as-a-Service) for seamless node deployment, monitoring of earnings, automated updates and alerts, and unified dashboard management. This partnership aims to simplify the node setup process, eliminating the need for users to manage nodes themselves on Virtual Private Servers (VPS). By delegating their Checker Node License (NFT) to Luganodes, users can earn rewards automatically, without the complexities of manual node management.
