How DePINly estimates Aethir earnings. Last verified 2026-05-22.
TL;DR
Enterprise decentralized GPU + checker network with two paths: Checker Nodes (a tiered NFT license, ~$500+ / ~0.1259 wETH primary — not a $99 fee, no ATH staking) and Compute Providers (active GPU + heavy ATH staking/collateral). Checker rewards are paid in vATH that vests over 180 days (or a 75% penalty for a 30-day claim) and dilute as 73,000+ licenses activate.
Earning mechanics
- Checker: base ~2 ATH/day at 24h uptime × bandwidth multiplier (min 25 Mbps, capped ~200 Mbps), gross pre-vest vATH, minus a 5 ATH claim fee.
- Compute provider: GPU revenue, demand-driven, requires staking collateral.
Formula (sketch · checker)
dailyVath ≈ CHECKER_BASE(2) × uptimeFactor × bandwidthMult
monthlyUsd = dailyVath × 30 × ATH_price (gross, pre-vest, pre-dilution)
Assumptions & confidence
| Assumption | Basis | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| License model / vATH 180-day vest / dilution | Aethir docs, audit 2026-05-21 | 🟢 |
| Per-node $/mo | no public figure | 🔴 ESTIMATE (illustrative) |
| Bandwidth thresholds | Aethir checker requirements | 🟡 |
| ATH price | CoinGecko live | 🟢 |
NOT modeled
Exact dilution curve as licenses activate, vesting schedule cashflow timing, compute-provider staking economics, ATH volatility.
Confidence rating
🟡 (rate 🔴) — License/vesting/dilution mechanics are well-sourced, but no verified per-node payout exists, so the daily ATH figure is illustrative and shown gross/pre-vest.
